As part of a project that started in July 2020, every week staff from the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) wastewater surveillance programme collect samples from wastewater treatment plants in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Limpopo, and Gauteng. These samples are then tested for fragments of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.
The data generated in this way is then shared with the public on a dashboard on the SAMRC website that is updated weekly. If a substantial third wave of Covid-19 is to hit South Africa, chances are it will be evident in this data.
Wastewater surveillance has become an important part of South Africa’s Covid-19 monitoring systems.
