- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the early detection of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant in community wastewater in the United States during November to December 2021. It mentions that the Wastewater surveillance provided strong early evidence of the presence and spread of the Omicron variant in certain communities before it was identified through clinical testing, highlighting the potential of this method as a complement to clinical testing for early detection of emerging variants.
