Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is shed into wastewater. Accessible methods are necessary for processing samples in a myriad of contexts. We optimized a protocol for extracting viral RNA for downstream experiments. Our pipeline was validated with SARS-CoV-2 itself as a matrix recovery and quantitative measurement control.
