A partnership between the Teton County Weed and Pest District, the Teton County Health Department and the Town of Jackson was created to determine a way to test the wastewater from the Town of Jackson for COVID-19. Weed and Pest has worked with the Teton County Health Department to ensure they have the correct equipment and personal protective equipment to run the wastewater samples in-house. COVID-19 can be found in human waste and the results will be another data point to understand the presence of COVID-19 in our community. The samples will be tested using polymerase chain reaction testing, which is the same type of test used for active disease testing. PCR is a qualitative test that detects nucleic acid from SAR-CoV-2 in the wastewater samples.
