A new, unique strain of COVID-19 has been found in large amounts in Ohio's wastewater, coming from one unidentified person who is likely unaware they are infected. The strain is not believed to be contagious and is more likely a form of long COVID. University of Missouri professor Marc Johnson is publicizing the information in hopes that the infected person or someone close to them will seek medical treatment, as there is currently no test available in the U.S. to test stool for COVID.
