 | 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 SARS-CoV-2. We aim to rapidly inform our community of COVID-19 positive cases to keep schools and essential sectors of the economy open while protecting vulnerable populations. We had an information session about the saliva screening on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, at 4 PM. Please view a recording of the information session here. |
Have questions about our Saliva Screening Research Study? Please email the research study manager, Jackie Fong at jfong111@uwindsor.ca or Dr. Lisa Porter at lporter@uwindsor.ca.
