A Windsor solution to rapidly detect COVID-19 in the University of Windsor community.
Our region has implemented a surveillance-based informative framework that combines wastewater testing with low-cost saliva-based qPCR screening to monitor for SARS-CoV-2. We aim to rapidly inform our community of COVID positive cases to keep schools and essential sectors of the economy open while protecting vulnerable populations.
