COVID-19 surveillance has evolved over time and this adds to the visibility in the community. In partnership with local utilities, VDH has been conducting wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 since September 2021 and has shared data with public health officials to inform their decisions about local prevention strategies. The dashboard will be updated weekly, generally on Tuesday. The dashboard provides information about viral trends and a comparison of wastewater surveillance trends with reported patient case counts.
The amount of virus present is called the viral load. The dashboard shows how much SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is in wastewater sewage in participating communities across the state. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) added a wastewater surveillance dashboard to the COVID-19 dashboards.
