Abstract

The article reports that Predeparture testing of international travelers has been identified as a key measure for reducing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during air travel. Topics include using genomic surveillance data, a new study examined the effect of predeparture testing on postarrival SARS-CoV-2 test positivity among international travelers; and provides real-world evidence supporting predeparture testing as a tool for reducing travel-associated SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Abstract

The article reports that Wastewater surveillance in airports and on aircraft can enable detection of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Topics include Aircraft wastewater samples from selected international flights were collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 by Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and whole genome sequencing; and monitor SARS-CoV-2 variants without direct traveler involvement or disruption to airport operations and can complement traveler-based surveillance.
