Zusammenfassung

Background: Statewide wastewater monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany, started in June 2022 to complement routine COVID-19 surveillance during the pandemic. We aimed to estimate the correlation between SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater with COVID-19 notifications and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions between June 2022 and December 2023 in NRW.
