COVID-19 Response: DeepSeq technology for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging pathogens in environmental settings
FY 2020-21 · 2020-09-27
Summary
There is mounting evidence that a significant source of COVID-19 infections has been through the environment —particularly aerosolized droplets from infected peoples' lungs. A solution is proposed whereby genome sequencing technologies will be used to track pathogens indoors, where workers and/or consumers are in close proximity, using surface and air sampling technologies. This will support a tracking and early alert system for resurgence of the coronavirus or other pathogens (both viral and bacterial).

Description
There is mounting evidence that a significant source of COVID-19 infections has been through the environment —particularly aerosolized droplets from infected peoples' lungs. A solution is proposed whereby genome sequencing technologies will be used to track pathogens indoors, where workers and/or consumers are in close proximity, using surface and air sampling technologies. This will support a tracking and early alert system for resurgence of the coronavirus or other pathogens (both viral and bacterial).
Description (French)
Il est de plus en plus évident qu'une source importante d'infections par la COVID-19 est attribuable à l'environnement - en particulier les gouttelettes en aérosol provenant des poumons des personnes infectées. Une solution est proposée, selon laquelle des technologies de séquençage du génome seront utilisées pour suivre les agents pathogènes à l'intérieur, lorsque les travailleurs et les consommateurs sont à proximité, en utilisant des technologies d'échantillonnage de surface et d'air. Cette solution permettra de mettre en place un système de suivi et d'alerte rapide en cas de résurgence du coronavirus ou d'autres agents pathogènes (tant viraux que bactériens).
