Sites across the Beehive State show at least a 40% increase in viral activity levels, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Levels of the COVID-19 virus were “very high” in wastewater at monitoring sites across the Beehive State in mid-July, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Utah — along with neighboring states Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming — was among 20 states with “very high” levels of viral activity in the week ending July 20, based on that data.
