Ontario ends COVID-19 wastewater surveillance program
Description
July 31, 2024
Ontario is officially ending its COVID-19 wastewater surveillance program, a move some public health experts are calling “incredibly disappointing.” Wastewater surveillance is useful not only for detecting COVID, but it can give an early indication of other viruses on the rise as well, including the possible arrival of the H5N1 avian flu. Nivrita Ganguly has more on this and other top health stories in Health Matters for Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
