How does sewage testing for Covid-19 work in Yellowknife?

Cabin Radio’s Sarah Pruys took a tour of one of the city’s sewage pumping facilities with people whose job it is to carry out the sampling.

Sarah also spoke with territorial epidemiologist Heather Hannah about how the sampling results help public health officials to track the virus and take action.
