How Wastewater Testing Serves as An Early Warning System For COVID-19 Infection Spikes


Yuma County is among the worst-hit communities by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The University of Arizona’s Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture, and state and local authorities, launched a wastewater testing project to try to get ahead of virus outbreaks. 
Wastewater testing can identify COVID-19 infection spikes in a community up to a week before laboratory testing.  
Paul Brierley, Executive Director of the Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture says data collected from wastewater testing can be used to mobilize public health officials early.   ....

University of Arizona s Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture will then analyze the samples and share data with public health officials. 
“It gives a head start warning, advanced warning, because people shed the virus in their stool about a week before they show any symptoms, so it alerts you to people who don’t even know they’re sick.” said Paul Brierly, the executive director of the YCEDA. ....
