Abstract:Environmental surveillance of wastewater from student dormitories was carried out over an academic year at a university campus in Singapore. From August 2021 to May 2022, SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations were quantified from concentrated 24-h composite wastewater samples collected twice weekly at 45 locations with sewer sheds serving between 400 and 1200 students.
