WasteWater Testing
Wastewater testing for early detection of COVID-19 infection
One of our most powerful lines of defence against COVID outbreaks, wastewater testing can detect infection from 3 to 7 days before before the first person on site exhibits symptoms—in a population with an infection rate as low as 20 to 50 infections per 100.000 people. This enables sites with consistent populations to predict and prevent outbreak by immediately identifying and isolating those infected.
Some industries currently successfully deploying wastewater monitoring programs:
- Western EU government with more than 66 million residents
- Correctional facilities (prisons and jails)
- Long-term residential care facilities
Wastewater testing is non-invasive, cost-effective method to assess the impact of COVID-19 in a community; then determine the focus of your clinical and other ongoing testing and monitoring programs.
Sustained productivity is possible. Measure trends, track the spread, get ahead of the virus.
