By regularly sampling sewage streams and measuring the concentration of viral DNA, which is shed in the stool of infected individuals, municipalities and building managers can transform their wastewater infrastructure into health observatories. Biobot Analytics tests sewage samples from wastewater treatment plants across North America for SARS-Cov‑2 virus levels, providing a leading indicator of changes in clinical case counts and hospitalizations — but it can also test wastewater from offices, airports, prisons, university buildings, and long-term care facilities, picking up evidence of Covid-19, flu, or opioid use.
