“Coronavirus ‘smoke detector’ launched in Syracuse puts brakes on SUNY Oneonta outbreak”

David Larsen, associate professor of public health in Falk College, appeared as a guest on Thursday Morning Roundtable hosted by the Office of Community Engagement. His appearance was covered in the syracuse.com story “Coronavirus ‘smoke detector’ launched in Syracuse puts brakes on SUNY Oneonta outbreak.” Larsen, an epidemiologist, is leading a sewage testing project to monitor for COVID 19, which was implemented at SUNY Oneonta earlier this fall when there was an outbreak on campus. Larsen says he believes that their work prevented an even larger outbreak, and he thinks of the testing “as a smoke detector in our communities.”
