With the associated measure of examining the wastewater from aircraft for genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen, new virus variants arriving via air traffic could probably be detected a little earlier than with the routine wastewater tests in Germany.
The latter would very reliably bring to light new descendants that could potentially become more widespread in the population. With a focus on the airports, you could sometimes see them a few days earlier, believes the researcher from the Technical University (TU) and the TU Vienna spin-off company dwh.
However, one should not be under any illusions that taking a closer look at travelers who come directly from the country confronted with a massive Covid 19 wave and without measures such as entry stops will have a relevant effect on the infection rate in this country, according to the researcher. If there were actually noticeable changes in the infection process as a result of people entering China, this would first have to become visible around airport locations with very high passenger numbers. In an international comparison, Austria is not one of them.
