Twenty-three municipalities/utilities attended the COVID-19 Strategic Sharing Group meeting on May 22 to explore epidemiological approaches to anticipate and respond to future waves of COVID-19 in municipalities across Canada. Dr. Steve E. Hrudey, professor emeritus at the University of Alberta and Chair of the research advisory group of the COVID-19 Wastewater Coalition, provided an expert presentation. During the second half of the meeting, participants discussed the planning and preparation for successive scaling up and scaling down, should multiple waves occur.
