An uptick in the presence of COVID-19 in U.S. wastewater sites comes as countries in Europe and in Asia are seeing significant viral resurgences.
The U.S. continues to ease restrictions as more and more Americans begin to feel a sense of normalcy.
"The next wave in Europe has begun," Dr. Eric Topol, professor of molecular medicine at Scripps Research, said in a tweet and a blog post on Saturday."Any proclamation that the pandemic is over ignores the potential recrudescence of a new variant with high transmission and immune escape."What is behind this latest COVID-19 resurgence is still unclear. However, experts say it is likely a confluence of factors.
Across the pond, in the U.K., Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently declared an end to the country's COVID-19 mitigation measures. Similarly, countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands have already ended restrictions, while in France, most COVID-19 limitations were lifted on Monday, just weeks before the presidential elections."BA.2 is itself highly transmissible, and both BA.1 and BA.2 appear to generate comparatively short-lived protection against reinfection.
