Researchers are nearing completion of a mathematical algorithm to help pinpoint the source of coronavirus infections within sewer systems. Reports arose earlier in the pandemic of universities and cities looking to sewage for traces of the virus, to more quickly identify and isolate virus cases; each flush from an infected person sends genetic remnants of the virus into sewage systems. A company called Biobot, for instance, has worked with about 400 facilities in 42 states to map virus concentrations in sewage over time, with current data representing over 10% of the U.S. population, a spokesperson told Fox News.

She has to quarantine for 14 days," said Collins, 36, of Warwick.
