COVID-19 WASTEWATER TESTING

Current studies indicate that remnants of SARS-COV2 virus are present in wastewater, suggesting wastewater as a marker for:

• MEASURING THE PREVALENCE TO COVID-19 IN COMMUNITIES.

• ANTICIPATING OUTBREAKS.

• ALLOWING AMPLE TIME FOR OUTBREAK WARNING AND PROCEDURE PLAN TO BE PUT INTO ACTION.

The NYC-CTIS team conducts testing of wastewater by Real Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) for SARS-COV2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.
