Abstract: Given the known presence of SARS-Cov-2 in wastewater, stemming disease spread in
global regions where untreated effluent in the environment is common will experience additional
pressure. Though development and preliminary trials of a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 have been
launched in several countries, rapid and effective alternative tools for the timely detection and re-
mediation of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, especially in the developing countries, is of paramount
importance. Here, we propose a promising, non-invasive technique for early prediction and tar-
geted detection of SARS-CoV-2 to prevent current and future outbreaks. Thus, a combination of
nanotechnology with wastewater-based epidemiology and artificial intelligence could be deployed
for community-level wastewater virus detection and remediation
