 This paper reviews the current state of research on the detection and treatment of the COVID-19 virus in aqueous media. It discusses the use of various techniques such as nanoparticle-based biosensors and nanotechnology-based filtration systems for the detection and removal of the virus from wastewater. Additionally, it provides insight into the challenges associated with treating COVID-19 contaminated wastewater. Finally, it concludes that international and robust guidelines for virus-e-bacteria treatment in wastewater are urgently needed to protect the environment and public health.
