Correlations between population-weighted wastewater activity level of norovirus genotype I in wastewater and incidence of all-cause acute gastroenteritis–related hospitalizations in study of correlation between norovirus in wastewater with norovirus-attributable and general acute gastroenteritis–related hospitalizations, New York, USA, 2022–2024. Blue line represents linear regression fit and gray shading indicates 95% CIs. A) Erie County; Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ) = −0.35. B) Jefferson County; ρ = −0.03. C) Onondaga County; ρ = 0.07. D) Westchester County; ρ = −0.1. WVAL, norovirus wastewater activity level.
