We have been collecting data from the Boulder Hill Interceptor as a baseline residential area since late May 2020.\u00a0\u00a0This study aims to create an early warning system that can alert us to emerging outbreaks and get a much better vantage point, supported by real-time data, into the prevalence of COVID-19 in our community.<\/p>\n
Below is a graph with all of our 2023 results.\u00a0 As what has become our new “usual”, we traced an autumn spike in the viral concentration.\u00a0 Thank goodness that this year’s results were much less than the all-time high that was observed in late 2022-early 2023 with the Omicron-variant.\u00a0 We have also started to track influenza A, influenza B, and RSV and will post those results as trends develop over time.<\/p>\n
