Wastewater Surveillance

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is currently being monitored in wastewater around the state as an additional effort to identify the presence of the virus in a community and prevent the further spread of COVID-19. If increases in the virus levels are found in wastewater, it can provide an early indicator that COVID-19 cases may be on the rise. This virus can be detected in wastewater before potentially related increases in reported clinical cases.

ACHD uses this information and clinical case data to make decisions about the ongoing pandemic. Hope College has collaborated with ACHD to produce a dashboard that displays the most recent wastewater readings and case counts. With this dashboard, ACHD has been able to forecast a rise in cases, which has improved mitigation responses.

Read more about using wastewater surveillance data to monitor case patterns at individual and population levels related to the SARS-CoV-2 infection.
