We are seeing a consistent trend of higher COVID presence in
wastewater on Mondays vs. Tuesdays
Tuesday, March 17, 2021 = 50,881 (289 cases) *compares to 57
active cases as reported by Riverside County
Monday, March 16, 2021 = 126,894 {749 cases)
Tuesday, March 9, 2021 = 40,629 (152 cases)
Monday, March 8, 2021 = 46,232 {379 cases)
Tuesday, March 2, 2021 = 25,769 (83 cases)
Monday, March 1, 2021 = 134,620 {395 cases)
We are testing for presence of 2 mutations found in UK Variant, with
these mutations also in other hyper-transmissible Variants.
Tuesday, March 17, 2021 = Detected
Monday, March 16, 2021 = Detected
Tuesday, March 9, 2021 = Not Detected
Monday, March 8, 2021 = Detected
Tuesday, March 2, 2021 = Not Detected
Monday, March 1, 2021 = Not Detected
The presence of both of these mutations is a strong indicator that
the UK variant or possibly another, related and yet to be defined
variant, is circulating in the City.
It is important to remain vigilant and continue to use face masks,
social distancing and other measures to prevent the spread of
COVID.
