Laboratory-based wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, can be conducted using RT-qPCR-based screening of municipal wastewater samples. Although it provides rapid viral detection and can inform SARS-CoV-2 abundance in wastewater, this approach lacks the resolution required for viral genotyping and does not support tracking of viral genome evolution. The recent emergence of several variants of concern, a result of mutations across the genome ...
