在此沟通中，我们提出了低收入国家可能采取的可持续预防措施，以预防COVID-19（2019冠状病毒病）通过废水的潜在爆发和传播。大多数低收入国家的卫生和废水管理政策较差，这造成了COVID 19传播的潜在风险。因此，拟议的措施包括废水处理设施的权力下放，在整个社区监测和测试废水样本中的SARS-CoV-2，改善卫生条件，开发废水净化的使用点设备，以及更有针对性的政策干预。因此，本文件为低收入国家持续爆发的COVID-19疫情的监测和管理提供了有用的见解。(C)2020 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
In this communication, we proposed sustainable preventive measures that may be adopted by the low-income countries to forestall the potential outbreak and transmission of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) through wastewater. Most low-income countries have poor sanitation and wastewater management policies, which create potential risks of COVID 19 spread. Hence, the proposed measures include decentralization of wastewater treatment facilities, community-wide monitoring and testing of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples, improved Editor: Damia Barcelo sanitation, developing point-of-use devices for wastewater decontamination, and more focused policy interventions. Therefore, this paper adds useful insights into the monitoring and management of ongoing COVID-19 out-break in low-income countries. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
