Saskatoon's recorded virus concentration for the beginning of March is the 15th highest the city has seen.
Microbiologist Ayodeji Charles Osunla said in an email that in the most recent reporting period, the viral RNA load in the city saw another increase week over week. Up to March 1, Saskatoon’s wastewater viral load increased by 57.7 per cent, raising levels into the high range. This is the 15th highest concentration measured in the city.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.
Prince Albert saw an decrease of 33.9 per cent in the reporting period to Feb. 28. The city’s viral load is medium and the 36th highest recorded. North Battleford’s concentration increased by nine per cent in the same period and remains in the medium range. This is the 25th highest concentration since the pandemic began.Article content
Osunla is part of a U of S team measuring COVID-19 through wastewater. People infected with the virus leave traces of it in their feces. By measuring the viral load in a city’s sewage, researchers are able to approximate how many people in that city are infected with COVID-19, even if they don’t know it.
Since Saskatchewan no longer reports daily COVID-19 data and relies on rapid antigen tests for testing in the general population, wastewater data is one of the best indicators available for how the virus is spreading.
