COVID-19 could be coming back soon.
New data from the CDC says the coronavirus appears to be on the rise in the U.S.
A CDC update posted Friday shows wastewater activity for COVID-19 is at a “moderate” level nationally, up from “low” last week.
Data showed COVID wastewater levels are the highest in the Western part of the U.S., including Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. At this point though, Covid levels remain low in this area.
The CDC says wastewater monitoring can detect a virus’s spread within a community faster than clinical testing.
