A large majority of U. S. statesare dealing with alarming levels of COVID-19 in their wastewater, indicating a persistent and widespread accumulation of virus cases. Currently, 27 states are reporting incredibly high levels, while 17 states are experiencing high levels of viral activity. in wastewater. The Western region is the most affected, largely followed by the South, Midwest, and Northeast, in that order, highlighting a worrying trend of increased transmission of the virus across the country. Current Levels of SARS-COV-2 Viral Activity in Wastewater
Current levels are closer to, but still lower than, the winter months, when respiratory illnesses tend to spread even more. Knowledge about wastewater has limitations in its representation of spread in a community, but it is arguably the most productive one can have. say the experts. Please refer to the following table:

The degrees of viral activity of wastewater are classified as minimum, low, moderate, maximum or very maximum as follows:
– Less than 1. 5 – Minimum
– Greater than 1. 5 and up to – Low
– Greater than and up to 4. 5 – Moderate
– Greater than 4. 5 and up to – High
– Greater than – Very high
