“[Biobot Analytics] gives us a number that we can track and graph each week.
It’s the only surveillance tool we have of everyone, it’s a useful way to help us see what’s coming.
Other than that, you’re relying on positivity test results which is a very small portion of the population.”
Karin Carroll, Public Health Director for Gloucester, Massachusetts
“This information [from wastewater] further supplements and confirms the
observations of the County Health Department. The virus is present in this small community
at high levels. We provide this information as another tool residents can use when making
their plans over the near future.”

“By having this data, we were able to go out and talk to our community about what is
going on in our neighborhoods, in our neighbors’ homes.”
