COVID Testing and Case Data in Huron and Perth
There continues to be local spread of COVID-19 across Huron and Perth as well as the rest of Ontario. The number of people in Huron Perth who actually have COVID-19 will be much higher than reported. We must all act as if we could come into contact with COVID-19 anywhere in our community and as if we could pass the virus on unknowingly.

COVID-19 Wastewater surveillance
About the data |
Wastewater surveillance is an additional tool to learn more about the COVID-19 situation in Huron Perth, but please note there are several limitations to the data. Only the Stratford and Goderich wastewater treatment plants are included in the initiative, representing about 28% of the population in Huron Perth. Therefore, the data are not reflective of the whole region. Wastewater surveillance involves taking samples of raw sewage and looking for things in it like bacteria, viruses, drugs and other chemicals. When someone is sick with a virus (such as COVID-19) there will be copies of the virus in their urine and stool and this can be detected in the wastewater from a community. Wastewater surveillance for COVID-19 is one of many tools being used in Ontario and elsewhere to help monitor the spread of the virus and support the pandemic response. By testing samples of raw sewage, we can see whether COVID-19 is present in the population and track disease trends. |
How often data are updated |
Wastewater surveillance data are updated weekly on Wednesdays. It takes about 7 to 10 days from the time sewage samples are collected and analyzed to the results being included in the dashboard. |
