NEW YORK -- New York City Health and Hospitals is expanding its wastewater surveillance program.
The system says it has successfully predicted changes in COVID and flu rates 10-14 days before results were seen clinically.
Starting next week, the program will expand to include testing of hospital wastewater for polio and monkeypox.
Testing now takes place at 10 hospitals.
