Possible COVID-19 Case Increase DetectedA statewide wastewater monitoring effort has indicated that COVID-19 cases may be increasing in our community. Residents should be on alert and remain vigilant in their efforts to social distance, wear face coverings, and adhere to prevention efforts such as frequent hand-washing.[Local Health Department] is using this indicator, along with community case numbers and other COVID-19-related data, to inform decisions as we respond to the pandemic. At this time, we are [XXXXX] to help mitigate spread of COVID-19 before cases begin to occur.If you experience any COVID-19-related symptoms, contact a healthcare provider. These could include fever or chills; cough; shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; fatigue; muscle or body aches; headache; new loss of taste or smell; sore throat; congestion or runny nose; nausea or vomiting; or diarrhea.The monitoring network that detected signs of a possible spike is studying samples of wastewater across the state to look for the presence of fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19. An upward trend in an area served by a specific wastewater treatment plant could be an early indicator that cases of COVID-19 may increase.Over the past [XX] days, levels in [XXX] community have increased [X%], [from XXX on X to XXX on X]. [insert trend image, available by visiting and zooming in on the appropriate sewershed]Research has shown that non-infectious RNA (ribonucleic acid) from the virus that causes COVID-19 can be detected in wastewater as many as three to seven days before those infections lead to increases in case counts or hospitalizations. We urge residents to act now to protect themselves and their families.The Ohio Coronavirus Wastewater Monitoring Network is a collaboration between the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the Ohio Water Resources Center (Ohio WRC) at The Ohio State University, and other participating universities, including The University of Toledo, Kent State University, and The University of Akron.For additional local data and details on the network and its monitoring methods, visit ................
