Hello ! It's great that we are monitoring wastewater as an early warning system for Covid-19, and amazing that thePCR testing is so sensitive. How do we access this testing results ? Surely this info should either be posted andavailable to the general public (perhaps it is), or conveyed with a weekly 2x/wk posting. This is really the best waythat people can assess their risk level and regain confidence in being out and about, and to what degree. The lack ofrecent positive tests, though indicative, is not helpful, given the lag time, asymptomatic infectivity window, thegeneral unknowns of the virus -- especially with the onset of tourist season and the unfortunate politicization ofmask-wearing.
Thank you, Clara Pincus
