WastewaterSCAN

We use three categories to help explain what #wastewater data is telling us about the infectious #diseases we monitor: low, medium, and high. These categories are determined based on trends, levels, and frequency of detection in communities to quickly identify what we're seeing. Find out the levels of infectious diseases in your area: wastewaterscan.org

#RSV and other respiratory viruses want to spend time with you, whether you’re training for your black belt or mastering other skills. Stay ahead by checking local #wastewater data for virus updates in your area. wastewaterscan.org

Move over influenza A,?influenza B is on the rise ? While influenza A is trending down, influenza B is now in steadily increasing nationally which means infections of #influenzaB are becoming more common and prevalent.

Last week was the fifth anniversary of the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring #COVID19 a pandemic.?Since 2020, #wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 has become a valuable public health tool, determining the presence of the virus and its variants circulating in wastewater and informing public health action to prevent potential outbreaks before they escalate. Now, there are many wastewater surveillance systems and programs across the globe that share valuable data and have expanded to monitor a variety of other pathogens in real time. WastewaterSCAN is one program that has been monitoring SARS-CoV-2 since late 2020 and now monitors 14 infectious disease targets in 40 states across the United States. Check out the most recent SARS-CoV-2 wastewater data on our dashboard at?data.wastewaterscan.org

??Norovirus is categorized as “High" in #wastewater nationally. #Norovirus is one of 11 infectious diseases that WastewaterSCAN monitors across the country, and we share the data publicly on our online dashboard. Check levels near you: data.wastewaterscan.org?
