ADADResearchers around the world have been studying whether wastewater testing can effectively catch cases early to prevent covid-19 clusters. Other schools are doing the same, including the University of California at San Diego and Syracuse University. On Tuesday at the University of Arizona, that screening process found signs of the virus in the wastewater from a dorm called Likins Hall. Wastewater testing is effective because fragments of the virus stay in feces, he said. New cases in Arizona have fallen 25 percent this past week, according to The Post’s coronavirus case tracker.
