SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - Scientists continue to closely monitoring waste water for traces of the coronavirus and variants in our communities.

“Every week there’s something new,” said University of Missouri Professor Marc Johnson.

He been analyzing waste water samples for more than a year.

“I never thought you could learn some much about a community from a little bit of waste water. It’s really amazing,” said Johnson.

Most states do some sort of waste water testing but Missouri is the only one to publish the results on a map for the public to see according to Wenzel.

I couldn’t see the areas of the map because the descriptor page was on top and I couldn’t get rid of it.

I wanted to see the red triangle showing the 40% increased viral load in 1 week or 25% in 2 weeks.

Thanks for posting!
