Weekly mean viral load showed a slight decrease of 27%
Scaling trend of SARS-CoV-2 viral load concentration in the urban waste of Thessaloniki is observed in the most recent measurements for the research conducted by the Wastewater Epidemiology Group of the AUTH with the EYATH, in collaboration with the Region of Central Macedonia and within the National Network of EODY.
The average weekly value of the viral load (from Thursday to Wednesday) showed a slight decrease of 27%while according to the Wastewater Epidemiology Group of AUTH, from November 9 onwards, its prices decrease, although there are fluctuations due to the variations in the quality characteristics of the wastewater.
Specifically, in the samples taken daily at the entrance of the Thessaloniki wastewater treatment facility, regarding the rationalized values ​​of relative viral load secretion, the average value of the two most recent measurements, that is, Tuesday 11/15/2022 and Wednesday 11/16/2022 2022 is:
– Marginally reduced (-11%) compared to the average value of the two immediately preceding measurements of Sunday 11/13/2022 and Monday 11/14/2022.
– Reduced by 40% compared to the average price of the previous Tuesday 08/11/2022 and Wednesday 09/11/2022.
The methodology for assessing the coronavirus in urban waste, developed by the AUTH team, rationalizes the concentration measurements of the virus genome based on 24 environmental factors, which can alter the results of the measurements.
