A review on the contamination of SARS-CoV-2 in water bodies: transmission route, virus recovery and recent biosensor detection techniques

The discovery of SARS-CoV-2 virus in the water bodies has been reported, and the risk of virus transmission to human via the water route due to poor wastewater management cannot be disregarded. The main source of the virus in water bodies is the sewage network systems which connects to the surface w...
