Researchers say some of their models predict viral outbreaks two weeks before they’re seen by doctors. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy provided $800,000 to expand the pilot program to monitor the spread of COVID-19.
Monitoring the spread of COVID-19 has been one of the biggest challenges facing public health officials during the pandemic. But engineers at Michigan State University have developed a technique that could track the spread of coronavirus before it appears in clinics and hospitals.
