Wastewater can effectively inform public health action for respiratory viruses in the US, and we are happy to be part of this MMWR piece to describe the ways that wastewater data was used by state and local public health last year.

Notes from the Field: The National Wastewater Surveillance

This report describes how wastewater surveillance informed public health action during the 2022–23 respiratory virus season.

Wastewater is a powerful tool to help communities track infectious diseases. That’s why we’ve updated our data dashboard to include low, medium, and high categories to help make information about the diseases we monitor even clearer and more accessible.
