Although COVID-19 numbers in area are low - many of us are concerned about the possibility of a second wave. I have asked the county to consider sewer testing for COVID 19 as a means of determining the level of community spread. This could also help schools determine whether it is safe for schools to reopen. Some students and faculty who attend school may not have fever but carriers could be asymptomatic. Sewer testing, on the other hand, does not rely on individual compliance, would account (on a collective level) for asymptomatic carriers, and could be a relatively inexpensive way to track the status of the virus in communities to help inform critical decisions about public safety during the pandemic. https://www.
