MILWAUKEE - How often do we encounter the coronavirus in our daily lives? New surface tests are emerging as a screening tool and offer some insight.
Contact 6’s Jenna Sachs collected samples from door handles around Milwaukee and brought them to a local lab for testing. Some samples tested positive for the coronavirus.
"You can truly see what we are capable scientifically," said Thomas Hirsch of Accelerated Clinical Labs. Hirsch is talking not only about vaccines but of new environmental tests.
... Contact 6 tried out a new surface test from Invisible Sentinel, provided by Accelerated Clinical Labs. The Invisible Sentinel test is approved by the Association of Agricultural Chemists. FOX6 Reporter Jenna Sachs collected samples from businesses, municipal buildings, gas stations, a gym, a laundromat and libraries across the Milwaukee area. She brought 14 vials back to the lab for analysis.
... The lab detected the coronavirus on door handles at a laundromat and two city of Milwaukee buildings, including City Hall.
"The more contact that you have with people, the more likelihood that one of those people is going to shed some of the virus there," said Hirsch.
