Inter-comparing these nine catchment areas, we plotted the estimated cumulative and the acute prevalence against the measured SARS-CoV-2 load (Figure 8 ), the latter calculated from RT-qPCR measured M-gene copy concentration ( Figure 4 ) and the actual wastewater flow Q actual on the day of sampling (Table 2) . In contrast, plotting the incidence against SARS-CoV-2 concentration did not yield a conclusive correlation (not shown), likely because the precision of the qPCR employed was not sufficient to discriminate relatively minor differences in the incidence prevailing in the studied catchment areas at the time of sampling, ranging from 30 to 174 cases per 100,000 residents (less than an order of magnitude, Figure 8C and D).	./cache/cord-258595-bk35vxlr.txt	./txt/cord-258595-bk35vxlr.txt
