Wastewater Testing

Idea Category: Healthcare, Infrastructure

NewDEAL Leader Somerville, MA Mayor Joe Curtatone launched a COVID wastewater testing program to monitor for coronavirus and help reveal hotspots up to two weeks earlier than individual testing. Mayor Curtatone says the partnership with Northeastern University and Stantec, a private tech company, will “give us a head start” to reduce virus spread, and similar partnerships have helped other areas with controlling spread, like a partnership put in place back in April in New Castle County, DE by fellow NewDEAL Leader County Executive Matt Meyer. Read more about the advantages of this type of testing.
