    COVID-19 Global circulation

    As many countries discontinue COVID-19-specific reporting and integrate it into respiratory disease surveillance, WHO will use available sources to continue monitoring the COVID-19 epidemiological situation through the WHO COVID-19 dashboard. This global summary of COVID-19 circulation includes percent positivity, SARS-CoV-2 variants, reported cases and deaths and national wastewater system surveillance.

    Wastewater environmental surveillance

    Environmental surveillance (ES) in wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 is an effective approach to monitor community level circulation of the virus as a complementary method to COVID-19 public health surveillance strategies.

    The outputs of environmental surveillance in wastewater should be evaluated together with the indicators from other surveillance systems, such as those presented on the WHO COVID-19 dashboard.
