Researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School have been testing water samples at eight beaches along Lake Superior since July

Over the weekend of September 11 and September, trace levels were found at four of the beaches

Levels were detected between 100 copies and 1,000 copies of the virus per liter, about 10,000 times less than levels found in wastewater

The team believes swimmers carry the virus into the water via fecal matter

There is currently no evidence that coronavirus can spread or be transmitted through water
