We were seeing a consistent trend of higher COVID presence in
wastewater on Mondays vs. Tuesdays except for last week.
Tuesday, April 13, 2021 = 19,824 (174 cases)
Monday, April 12, 2021 = 12,446 (120 cases)
Wednesday, April 7, 2021 = 66,370 (327 cases)
Tuesday, April 6, 2021 = 55,488 (566 cases)
Tuesday, March 30, 2021 = 38,648 (229 cases)
Monday, March 29, 2021 = 91,725 (377 cases)
We are testing for presence of 2 mutations found in UK Variant, with
these mutations also in other hyper-transmissible Variants.
Tuesday, April 13, 2021 = Detected
Monday, April 12, 2021 = Detected
Wednesday, April 7, 2021 = Detected
Tuesday, April 6, 2021 = Detected
Tuesday, March 30, 2021 = Detected
Monday, March 29, 2021 = 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
EVEN AS WE REOPEN OUR ECONOMY AND GET VACCINATED.
