Participants will hear from speakers from Houston and San Diego on wastewater surveillance projects and how epidemiologists use wastewater surveillance data tracking of SARS-CoV-2 to guide public health work. The discussion will include background on these projects and how data generated from them are informing local public health practice. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session.
