Before December 2020, Antarctica had remained free of Covid-19 cases. The main concern during the pandemic was limited health facilities available at Antarctic stations to deal with disease, as well potential impact SARS-CoV-2 on wildlife through reverse zoonosis. In 60 cases emerged in Chilean stations, disrupting summer campaign ongoing isolation needs. RNA detected wastewater several scientific stations. Antarctica, treated is discharged directly into seawater. No studies currently address recovery infectious virus particles from wastewater, but their presence raises risk infecting and initiating new replication cycles. This study highlights initial detection identifying viral via RT-qPCR targeting various genomic regions. virus's found effluent two plants Maxwell Bay O’Higgins Station King George Island Peninsula, respectively. explores for zoonotic transmission humans due direct release implications such underscore need continued vigilance research.
