Resumen
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
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 outbreak in low-income countries.
