DPI’s Wastewater Epidemiology project to use wastewater test for COVID0-19 was featured in a recent edition of WTTW’s Chicago Tonight.
DPI Research Scientist Charlie Catlett and UIC’s Rachel Poretsky described the project.
“When there’s incomplete data, or holes in the data, that’s when wastewater data is really useful,” Poretsky told WTTW. “At each stage of the pandemic there were citywide and nationwide testing challenges. There were often months without tests, or the wrong tests or extremely long waits to get appointments.”
