Data will be updated weekly on Wednesdays. Last updated 2/21/24.*

*Updates are temporarily paused due to a change in the wastewater testing vendor.

The Department of Health, in partnership with the County’s Department of Public Works, monitors all seven of the county operated wastewater treatment plants in the county for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). People infected with COVID-19 can shed the virus in their feces. It can be detected in community wastewater, or sewage. Wastewater surveillance measures the presence of SARS-CoV2 in people with and without symptoms.

This is another tool we can use to help monitor COVID-19 spread in Anne Arundel County. Wastewater surveillance does not depend on people having access to healthcare, people seeking healthcare when sick, or the availability of COVID-19 testing. Monitoring wastewater can provide an early indicator of spread of COVID-19 in communities.

Wastewater samples are collected twice a week from the treatment plants in the county, which are sent to the CDC for testing as part of their National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS)

To monitor our local data, the most recent three data points for each treatment plant in the county are averaged and categorized based on the following:

Category* Low Detection Medium Detection High Detection
Range of SARS-CoV-2 virus concentration in wastewater
(3 most recent data points average of copies per liter of sewage)
<1,500,000 1,500,000 to 2,999,999 >=3,000,000

*Data Methodology is preliminary; updates may occur as we continue to evaluate local data

"Second/single dose" represents those who have received both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. "Booster dose" represents those who have received booster doses of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and is calculated as a percentage of the population who completed the initial series.
