Wastewater Monitoring for COVID
Measures of COVID rates including virus levels in wastewater increased dramatically in New London County in the last month. Wastewater virus data is an important early warning signal- detecting COVID-19 infections (approximately seven days prior to outbreak) and before official test reporting. When it comes to wastewater data, the applications are endless for public health—including addressing the opioid epidemic. Some communities have recently expanded their COVID-19 sewage monitoring program to include testing for signs of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and nicotine. By looking at wastewater, county officials, law enforcement, and other organizations receive an unbiased view of high-risk substance use that enables them to deploy support and resources to those areas that need it most.
