Coronavirus in Campus Environment
Researchers at the University of Michigan School of Public Health are studying samples from sewers, classrooms, buses and more to determine how much coronavirus is present in the environment on campus and whether that has any relationship on COVID-19 infection rates within the university community.
They hope this approach will provide an additional perspective from the work of other researchers, which has focused mostly on epidemiological approaches such as tracking infection rates. The university's Office of Environment Health & Safety provides assistance for sampling and logistics.
