Wastewater Data Provides Insight Into COVID Case Peak
Since summer 2020, Covid-WEB has been tracking the spread of the coronavirus by monitoring wastewater sites across California, including within the San Francisco Bay Area. Covid-WEB samples wastewater for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which can indicate the presence of the COVID-19 disease in a community. This early detection can help communities respond to the virus or new variants before an outbreak.
