Wastewater monitoring is crucial because it captures virus shedding from individuals through urine and feces, providing early indicators of infection trends. This method is valuable for detecting changes in viral presence even when clinical testing rates decline, thereby enhancing public health preparedness.

The most recent measurements show Influenza A at 91,200 genome copies per liter, Influenza B not detected, and RSV at 19,120 genome copies per liter. Compared to the past 30 days, Influenza A levels are elevated, RSV levels are stable, and Influenza B remains undetected. Year-to-date, Influenza A is high, RSV is medium, and Influenza B is low. These levels indicate viral presence but do not reflect disease severity.

Table 1 summarizes the combined activity of these viruses over the last seven days, providing a snapshot of current conditions. Table 2 presents annual historical peaks, offering long-term context to assess whether current levels are unusual.

RSV is a respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe illness. Influenza A and B are viruses that cause seasonal flu epidemics. RNA is a molecule that carries genetic information. PCR is a technique used to amplify small segments of DNA or RNA for analysis.
