COVID-19 Update 12.30.22

/

Attached is the revised Hudson COVID-19 report for the past 6 weeks. Based on community feedback, we have begun including county Wastewater Data into our reports. This decision is partly due to the fact that many people are taking at-home COVID-19 tests, which do not get reported to the State or Town. Wastewater Data tells you how much COVID-19 virus is in wastewater. Virus gets into the wastewater when people "shed" the virus while using the bathroom.

Trends in wastewater data predict COVID-19 cases. For example, when the amount of virus in wastewater goes up, we typically see a rise in COVID-19 cases. We can therefore use wastewater data to assess how much COVID-19 virus is in the community, and what protective steps should be taken.

We continue to encourage residents to stay up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters.
