Oct. 25, 2022
The New Brunswick government says it will start testing wastewater to track COVID-19 levels in the province.
The greater Moncton area and the Natoaganeg First Nation will be the first communities to pilot the testing program, according to a government news release.
The province says it is looking into additional sites with help from the federal government.
“We are proud to support the introduction of the initial COVID-19 wastewater surveillance sites,” said Health Minister Bruce Fitch, in the news release.
“This project will give people in the area more information about the prevalence of COVID-19 in their community so that they can assess their risk and take the appropriate steps.”
