Measuring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater: COVID-19
The City of Greater Sudbury, in partnership with the Health Sciences North Research Institute, is monitoring levels of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants with a wastewater surveillance program that tests sewage from the Kelly Lake Wastewater Treatment Site. The Kelly Late site serves 96 000 residents and is one of 13 wastewater sites managed by the City of Greater Sudbury.
HSNRI is monitoring six treatment plants as part of a pan-Ontario network developing wastewater monitoring of COVID-19 (https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashboard/).
