I'm the HAI program manager for the state of Alaska Division of Public Health, Section of EPI. Healthcare-acquired infections. My primary role is working on programs that essentially prevent you from going into hospital for a surgery and then ended up leaving with some type of worse, worse illness or disease. But I also oversee our wastewater monitoring program, and that is what I'm here to talk to you guys about today. Are you guys able to see my slides okay?
The Alaska Department of Health wants Kenai to sign a memorandum of agreement to sample sewage at the city's wastewater treatment plant for measles, bird flu, COVID, and other pathogens. The state would cover all equipment and lab costs.
