Statewide weekly wastewater viral concentration (log copies/d/person) and clinical human test positivity over time for respiratory pathogens, Oregon, USA, September 6, 2020–May 11, 2023. A) SARS-CoV-2; B) respiratory syncytial virus; C) influenza. Nondetect values were assigned the mean 1/2 limit of detection for each pathogen. Open circles indicate no detections for that week.
