The polio virus was detected in wastewater samples from a suburban county near New York City where an unvaccinated adult recently contracted the disease.
ALBANY, N.Y. — The polio virus was detected in wastewater samples from the suburban county near New York City where an unvaccinated adult recently contracted the life-threatening disease, but health officials said Tuesday they have not identified any additional cases.
The unidentified young adult had a strain of the virus that has since been genetically linked to samples found in Rockland County wastewater, as well to samples in London and the Jerusalem area. “However, it’s important to note that we don’t have enough information at this time to determine if the virus is actively spreading in New York or elsewhere in the U.S., and no additional cases have been identified,” according to the CDC.
New York health officials said they could not conclusively say whether the Rockland County samples came from the patient, who developed symptoms in June.
