COVID virus levels have jumped significantly in wastewater across the nation, an indication the summer bump is continuing to grow.
Coronavirus levels have jumped significantly in wastewater across the nation, an indication that the summer bump is continuing to grow. National virus measurements in sewage reached 'high' levels for the first time this summer, according to estimates released Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
tests are coming back with positive results in California has almost reached last summer's peak. For the week that ended July 8, 13% of reported tests came back positive; the rate for the comparable week a month earlier was 4.8%. The latest positive test rate almost exceeds the peak from last summer, which was 13.1% in late August and early September. In Los Angeles County, the nation's most populous, coronavirus levels in wastewater have jumped significantly.
cases in the county also have jumped. For the week that ended July 7, there were an average of 307 new cases a day, up from 121 a day a month earlier. Last summer's peak was a daily average of 571 cases for the week that ended Aug. 26. Officially reported cases are certainly an undercount, given that they reflect only test results completed in medical facilities and not at-home tests.
case increase started in May, arriving earlier than normal. Previously, L.A. County's midyear bump in cases and hospitalizations began in early July — in 2021 and 2023 — but in early May in 2022. Kaiser Permanente Southern California is continuing to observe rising cases, mostly among outpatients, officials said. 'The numbers are kind of still slowly, slowly rising,' said Dr. Elizabeth Hudson, Kaiser Southern California's regional chief of infectious disease.
