TESTING AND MONITORING FOR SARS-COV-2 AND VARIANTS

Air and wastewater monitoring for SARS-CoV-2 can be powerful, complementary weapons in the fight against COVID-19.
 

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is a single-stranded RNA virus and part of a group of viruses referred to as coronaviruses. Kmask Group has partnered with a variety of organizations to monitor SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in wastewater. The QA/QC generated data has proven critical in helping our customers track the spread of COVID-19 and alerting communities to potential increases in infection rates even before clinical diagnoses can be made.

The group monitors and analyzes wastewater samples for coronavirus and variant RNA, the genetic signature of a virus.

• Measure the prevalence of COVID-19 within a community;

• Track the spread of the virus;

• Alert communities to a rise in RNA levels (infections) before clinical diagnoses occur.

COVID-19 monitoring services have helped cities, universities, congregated living facilities, manufacturers, industrial plants, and others better prepare their communities and businesses for potential outbreaks.
