bemused! Estimates found that 2 million new Americans are infected with the JN.1 strain of COVID every day, and every 23 people are infected, from the detection of the virus in wastewater across the country.
Medical Genome Center, Ramathibodi Hospital, posted on its Facebook page. Center for Medical Genomics Stated as the latest! From measuring the number and strains of the COVID-19 virus in wastewater (contaminated with feces and urine) from community sources, indicating that the United States is nearing the peak of its second wave of the pandemic since the outbreak began.

It is estimated that one in every 23 Americans has been infected with COVID-19 and approximately 2 million new cases per day, with omicron JN.1 being the predominant strain.

The first wave of the pandemic was caused by COVID-19. The original Omicron strain (BA.1) during December 2021-January 2022 found about 4,500 virus particles in 1 ml of wastewater.
The second wave of the latest pandemic is caused by COVID-19. Omicron strain JN.1 during December 2023-January 2024 found approximately 1,400 virus particles in 1 ml of water, which is considered to exceed a very high level.

Metrics
- If approximately 200 virus particles are found in 1 milliliter of wastewater, the community is considered to have a low level of virus transmission.
- About 400 virus particles were found in 1 milliliter of wastewater. The community was considered to have a moderate level of virus transmission.
- Found more than 500 virus particles in 1 ml of wastewater. The community is considered to have a high level of virus transmission.
- Found more than 1,000 virus particles in 1 milliliter of wastewater. The community is considered to have a very high level of virus transmission.
New Americans infected 2 million people per day
The latest data on the second wave of the pandemic comes from testing for the COVID-19 virus. Across the United States, wastewater sources from more than 700 communities representing more than 100 million people found approximately 1,400 wastewater virus particles in 1 milliliter of water, which is considered very high.
AmericanIt is estimated that approximately 1 in 23 people in the United States has been infected with COVID-19. and there are approximately 2 million new infections per day.
Track coronavirus by detecting the virus in wastewater
Monitoring the 2019 coronavirus in wastewater using RT-PCR techniques has the potential to detect the virus in human waste before individuals show symptoms. This allows for rapid public health action. able to stop, delay, or reduce the outbreak in that community in a timely manner It is a cost-effective and effective method for tracking the spread of infectious diseases. including COVID-19 disease in the community
In addition, wastewater monitoring helps proactively identify “hotspots” of disease emergence and spread. which is a powerful public health tool Because right now the world is lacking COVID-19 diagnostic testing information. The laboratory because people like to test ATK among themselves, most of them do not come to the hospital.
COVID-19 monitoring from wastewater can help identify places where COVID outbreaks have occurred. Early detection Relevant agencies can provide support for targeted disease control. This saves limited public health funds and provides real-time, comprehensive information on the spread of the epidemic across the country.
Analysis of the quantity and strains of COVID-19 from wastewater using molecular biology technologies such as RT-PCR and whole viral genome sequencing combined with AI can provide early warning about COVID-19 health threats. to the population around the world To help both the government and the public join together to increase public health efforts in proactive prevention, such as eating hot food, using medium spoons, and maintaining social distance. Wear a mask, wash your hands, consider getting vaccinated. and prepare antiviral drugs for those infected with severe symptoms. Especially in vulnerable groups

WHO recommends watching out for outbreaks from wastewater.
The World Health Organization recommends that member countries monitor the spread of COVID-19 from wastewater (Wastewater Surveillance) combined with Genomic Surveillance to “slow down” or “buy time” the spread of cattle. Vid-19 or new diseases emerging in the future
Medical Genome Center and Ramathibodi Hospital Research Office A pilot project for COVID-19 surveillance has been carried out. From wastewater at Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute successful During the COVID-19 outbreak Delta strain. The Research Office collected wastewater samples from Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute for Real-time PCR testing. The samples returned positive results. Was sent for genetic code testing using the MassArray Genotyping technique at the Genome Center. Surveillance of COVID-19 From wastewater, the process can be started immediately if there is a need and need.
