After showing hints of a drop last week, wastewater data flat in latest update
Coronavirus prevalence in San Diego County was relatively flat over the past week, according to the latest wastewater surveillance, despite recent hints of a drop after the aggressive spread of the BA.5 variant throughout the region.
Surging quickly up to 19.8 million copies per liter on July 26, counts fell to 18.1 million the following day but then reversed course, surpassing 19 million on July 31 and Aug. 1 then nearing 20.1 million on Aug. 2 before falling to 17.1 million on Aug. 3.
Andersen said that while wastewater numbers likely will fall a bit lower in the coming week, he does not “really think we’ll see the same steep decline as we did for BA.1,” the original Omicron variant.
