To reduce the spread of COVID-19 across Michigan, a COVID-19 Wastewater Surveillance Project was established by the Michigan Departments of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), in partnership with 29 local health departments, 19 laboratories, and at least 135 partner organizations. The public health goal began as a means to detect SARS-CoV-2 levels in the community, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the community by examining and testing wastewater collected from sewers and wastewater treatment plants. For more information, visit the State of Michigan's site on Wastewater Surveillance. The most recent statewide data can be viewed on the New Michigan COVID-19 Wastewater Dashboard
