Twenty -one countries have either “very high” or “high” viral levels in sewage. Among all regions of the United States, the West has the highest levels of Corona virus in wastewater, followed by the south.

Dr. Elizabeth Hudson, head of regional infectious diseases at Caiser Berminity, southern California, said she had received many calls related to outpatient clinics at Covid-19 while calling during the Labor Day holiday.
“We definitely see a rise in patients with Covid,” Hudson said. “Fortunately, the internal patients’ cases are few and far apart. However, sewage levels are still rising in Los Angeles, so we did not reach the top of this current wave.”
In general, this summer has not witnessed a somewhat kofide activity, when the country witnessed its worst summer wave since 2022.
Hudson said: “We will have to see what direction in which things go to two weeks to two weeks to get a better idea” about the place we end up. She said that the students who return to school as well as travel and socialization during the weekend can increase the proliferation of the virus.
All over California, the general level of the admission of the Covid hospital is still “low”, but it is increasing.

As of August 23, 1.9 % of the total hospitals in Orange County were due to Covid – higher than it was at any time during the winter, but less than half the peak last summer of 4 %.

In Los Angeles Province, hospitals in Covid-19 currently reach their peak in the past winter, but remain less than the last two summer summits, according to the Ministry of Public Health in Los Angeles Province.
Coronavirus’s virus levels are high in the sewage of Sacramento and West Sacramento, one of the most populated cities in Yulo Province. Season Improved Every person is 2 years old and over at West Sacranto “wearing a mask when they are around others in the inner public places”, given that the levels of the Coronav virus in wastewater there are high.
For other areas of Yulo Province, including UC Davis and Woodland, where the viral levels of wastewater are “medium”, Cyon said it recommends that people wear masks around others at home “if they have 65 years or older, they have a weak immune system in these groups.”
“Wearing a high -quality mask like N95, KN95 or KF94, which is well proportional, continues to provide strong protection,” said Sison.
Coronav virus are increasing in Sacramento County, and the sewage levels are high, according to Casey Kamacho, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Sacramento Province.
The San Francisco Public Health Ministry also encourages people to think about wearing a well -equipped mask in crowded internal spaces, including when traveling, and staying at home if they feel the disease. ” Coronavirus virus levels in San Francisco, and long hospital income, rose this summer “but remain less than last summer summer.”
In Santa Clara province, the most California province in northern California, hospitals associated with Covid and the levels of Coronavirus virus rose in San José and Palo Alto. The current viral levels in wastewater are now similar to the levels that were seen in the summer of 2023, but did not reach the height of last summer. Public health officials said that Covid hospital treatment rates are still less than the last summer seasons.
The updated version is expected to be from 2025-26 from the Covid-19 vaccine available within a few days in some retail traders in the country, such as Walgreens and CVS. But some people express frustration with new rules issued by the Trump administration that it actually requires smaller and healthy people under the age of 65 and who do not say they have a basic health condition to consult with the healthcare provider to obtain a coffee vaccination in the fall.
“Vaccination is still one of the most effective ways to prevent severe diseases and death from Covid-19,” Sison said.
The condition was criticized by Dr. Jerome Adams, the former surgeon who served under the first Trump administration. in Pillars On social media, Adams said that the people’s demand to consult with the health care provider before obtaining a Kofid vaccine puts “real arrival barriers”.
“Even if you have insurance and you can enter to see a doctor (not a small achievement in the United States), many doctors will be conservative to prescribe the medicine”, “Given (in many cases unfounded in health) the last speech of HHS leaders,” Adams, referring to the US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services, led by subsequent vaccines from the Robert F.
Kennedy, who has a history of disregard, said he wants more studies on Covid-19 shots. Other health experts said that an additional test for Covid vaccines is unnecessary, given the intense tests that were conducted before distributing them for the first time, and its busy record since then.
The bottom line? It is statistically (according to HHS data) and is practically incorrect that “100 % of those who choose a Covid vaccine can get one. “And continuing to repeat this reflects the lack of knowledge, sympathy or honesty.”
