Saskatoon sewer samples show highest ever amount of COVID-19

Researchers at Saskatoon's Global Institute for Water Security say they've found the highest amount of COVID-19 since the study began. In a report released on Monday, the institute said samples taken on Aug. 15 and 17 showed the highest amount of COVID-19 RNA in its wastewater samples. It showed a 348 per cent increase in viral RNA in samples taken from Aug. 12-17, compared to a week before.
