The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is published weekdays and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.
Wastewater Surveillance Update: Case Rates on Decline
💩 It's no secret: everyone uses the bathroom. The Bay Area’s wastewater has been a recent topic of conversation as people search for signs that the scourge of the Omicron variant is easing.
Samples recently collected at four sites in Marin County reinforce what our clinical testing has shown: that local COVID-19 infection rates are decreasing. This is good news: just last week, only three of four catchment areas showed signs of a decrease and one area of our community still had elevated levels of COVID-19. This new data confirms Omicron has peaked and is continuing to decline.
Since October 2020, The Berkeley Water Center at University of California, Berkeley has been a partner in monitoring how much SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) is excreted by people in California communities. Individuals infected with COVID-19, including those who are asymptomatic, shed the virus’ genetic material in their feces, so wastewater can provide an accurate signal of how much virus is circulating in the community. This data complements COVID-19 case counts by providing a view of infection trends that isn’t biased by access to testing or under reporting of at-home test results.
Collection data for Marin and 10 other California counties can be viewed at Data.COVID-Web.org.
