Ontario ends COVID-19 wastewater surveillance program
Ontario is ending its COVID-19 wastewater testing as of Wednesday drawing criticism from public health experts who say the move reduces early detection of viruses. The province notes PHAC plans limited expansion in four Ontario cities plus Toronto, while officials say the federal effort will supplement data without duplicating the provincial program. The switch comes as Ontario aims to coordinate with federal sites to cover public health across the province.
