SARS-CoV-2 wastewater and epidemiological data from Kisumu Kenya
This data repository contains wastewater-based and epidemiological data collected in Kisumu, Kenya, between March 29, 2022 and March 8, 2023. Wastewater-based data was generated from samples (n=161) collected and extracted by trained professionals from centralized wastewater treatment sites (n=41) and from decentralized sites: hospitals (n=50), public toilets in markets (n=31), and public toilets at transportation hubs (n=39). The presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and its concentration if present were measured using RT-qPCR. Epidemiological data was gathered from two sources, COVID-Dx platform and the Kisumu County Health Information Office. This epidemiological data includes the number of SARS-CoV-2 tests conducted, the number of positive tests, and the number of COVID-19 related admissions from the four largest hospitals in Kisumu: JOOTRH, Kisumu County Referral Hospital, Avenue Hospital, and Aga Khan Hospital. The odds of detecting one or more COVID-19 cases within 4-7 days after a positive WBS sample were 9 times higher than on days with negative WBS samples.
