Wastewater monitoring provides an early signal of respiratory virus activity in the community. When people are infected, they shed viral genetic material in their feces and urine. Tracking these levels in wastewater helps detect trends even when individual testing rates change. This surveillance supports public health preparedness by offering a community-wide snapshot.

The most recent measurement shows RSV RNA at 8.58 gene copies per liter of wastewater. For context, this level is based on a 7-day combined sample. Influenza A and Influenza B RNA were not detected in this measurement. These levels do not indicate disease severity.

The data is presented in two tables. Table 1 shows the combined viral activity over the last seven days, providing a view of current conditions. Table 2 provides the annual historical peaks for each virus, offering long-term context. This helps show whether current levels are unusual compared to past seasons.

A brief glossary: RSV is a common respiratory virus that can cause cold-like symptoms. Influenza A and Influenza B are viruses that cause seasonal flu. RNA is the genetic material of these viruses. PCR is a lab method used to detect and measure this RNA.
