During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Province of Ontario, Canada, launched a wastewater surveillance program to monitor SARS-CoV-2, inspired by the early work and successful forecasts of COVID-19 waves in the city of Ottawa, Ontario. This manuscript presents a dataset from January 1, 2021, to...
The exclusion of Inf-B, although less prevalent, likely contributed to the observed mismatch between wastewater data and clinical case reports. However, non-normalized Inf-A RNA concentrations correlated strongly with influenza cases reported on the corresponding week and on 1–4 weeks before ...
2.5. Collection of epidemiological data and correlation to wastewater viral signal Weekly epidemiological data was obtained from the ICES COVID-19 dashboard (https://www.ices.on.ca/DAS/AHRQ/COVID-19-Dashboard) and the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) dashboard (https://eohu.ca/en/covid...
Wastewater surveillance provides crucial COVID data, but also privacy concerns Throughout the pandemic, wastewater surveillance and analysis was a key tool in monitoring and measuring the amount of virus in communities. But some experts caution that the data collected could also lead to privacy concer...

Age data on all confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases were provided by the Centre for Health Protection. Daily per capita 2-day running geometric mean SARS-CoV-2 viral load data (in copies of SARS-CoV-2 RNA l−1) obtained from city-wide COVID-19 wastewater surveillance up to 31 July 2022 ...
The data on PM10 levels and infection cases analyzed in Piedmont and Lombardy revealed clear associations between high PM10 levels and COVID-19 virus transmission. Assuming that the transport effects of PM10 enabled the spread of the virus in Lombardy would be an improper health risk evaluation. ...
Excrements from the infected animals and untreated wastewater are also proven to spread the infection [9]. Some studies [10,11] have demonstrated that blood plasma of SARS-CoV-2 infected people could also transmit the disease. However, these findings are not substantial [12]. Studies have ...

The shift away from a large-scale COVID-19 public health response comes at a time when cases are surging across the province and wastewater levels are the highest they have been in more than a year. In Ottawa, there are currently 11 COVID-19 outbreaks...
