MILWAUKEE - COVID-19 testing is essential to understanding how prevalent the disease is in our community, but there s a time gap, as those tests are often taken only after people start to show symptoms. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are part of a team doing statewide surveillance to look for early trends in communities research that starts at home.
