Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove from the World Health Organization (WHO) emergencies program responded to a question on Friday on testing cities’ wastewater to determine the degree of COVID-19 contamination by saying that WHO scientists and researchers are looking at numbers of tools to better evaluate how the virus is globally circulating – including testing wastewater – but the focus should continue to be on testing the virus in human bodies. She added that WHO does understand that there are fragments of the virus which are not infectious could be found in wastewater.
