Abstract
Highlights• Viral load of SARS-CoV-2 RNA was measured in three wastewater treatment plants serving communities with different population sizes• Whole-genome sequencing of RNA from wastewater revealed AY.12, AY.25, AY.27, AY.93 as common AY-lineages• Omicron became the dominant VOC within a short time in the three cities• Traces of Omicron-sub-lineage BA.2 were detected through sequencing at the sub-consensus level.
Keywords: wastewater, Variant of Concerns, SARS-COV-2 RNA, Chemical tracer, BA.1, BA.2
