Wastewater from planes arriving at Vancouver International Airport to help identify COVID-19 variants

Vancouver Airport joined Toronto’s Pearson Airport today (Friday), in testing wastewater from arriving aircraft for signs of COVID-19.

The program is aimed at tracking the different variants of the virus that people are bringing into Canada.

The latest sub-variant X-B-B point-one point-five…..has now been found in Canada.

In the coming weeks, a parallel program will be launched at Vancouver Airport, to specifically test wastewater in flights from China.
