BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, Sept. 10 (TNSRes) -- Louisiana State University issued the following news release:
For the last several months, researchers from the LSU College of Engineering and School of Veterinary Medicine have tested wastewater in various areas around East Baton Rouge Parish to track cases of coronavirus.
