In the current COVID-19 pandemic, an early warning wastewater system has been proposed as a platform for SARS-CoV-2 surveillance, and a potentially important public health strategy to combat the disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has once again highlighted the importance of access to sufficient quantities of safe water, and sanitation in public health. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, tracking of wastewater has been proposed as a platform for SARS-CoV-2 surveillance, and a potentially important public health strategy to combat the disease [11, 12] . Thus SARS-CoV-2 surveillance through water-based epidemiology (WBE) is a potential complimentary and cost-effective approach to enable wide scale screening which would reduce labor intensive and costly personal COVID-19 testing and tracings [11, 17, 18] .
