Annually for the past four years, there have been at least two and sometimes three periods of high community transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. For example, the percentage of SARS-CoV-2 tests that are positive, a key indicator of community spread, reached peak levels of 14.6% in August 2023 and 12.9% in January 2024, which is similar timing as the peak levels observed in earlier years. Differences in testing practices between time periods might influence these data, but these high levels of test positivity are consistent with high levels also seen in wastewater.
