Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Mortality due to inadequate WASH facilities exceeded that of COVID-19 in the regions of South-East Asia and Africa. The costs and benefits of wastewater-based surveillance are not known; however, the benefits of WASH interventions greatly exceed the costs. The dedication of effort and resources to wastewater-based surveillance and WASH in low- and middle-income countries should reflect disease burdens and cost/benefit assessments.
