🇨🇦 Canada: Ontario pulls plug on COVID-19 wastewater surveillance.

Province says move will 'avoid duplication' as Ottawa expands its monitoring program.

Premier Doug Ford's government is scrapping Ontario's program for sampling wastewater to monitor the level of COVID-19 in the population.

The program measures how much of the virus that causes COVID-19 is circulating around the province and is run by a dozen universities and research sites, through funding from the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

In a statement, a provincial official said the move will "avoid duplication" with a federal program.
