This table shows summary data for the last seven days.
These data show hospitalization and death rates over the last 28 days of available data. To accommodate standard reporting delays, hospitalization and death data are published at a 14-day lag.
Because the federal public health emergency for COVID-19 has ended, labs are no longer required to report negative SARS-CoV-2 test results. Multiple labs have stopped reporting these results, so we are no longer able to accurately calculate percent positivity and testing rates for COVID-19.
The NYS Wastewater Surveillance Network is a collaboration between Syracuse University, SUNY-ESF, University at Buffalo - SUNY, Stony Brook University, Upstate Medical University, NYS Department of Health, and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. This website is where all the wastewater surveillance data collected by participating counties is reported. You can view data in the interactive map and graphs below for all current and past participants.

Quantification methods for SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA changed in March 2023.Real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used for SARS-CoV-2 N1 gene copy determinations for samples collected August 31, 2020-March 7, 2023. Starting with samples collected in March,2023, digital reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) has been used. Due to differences in methodology, dPCR viral load values are higher than RT-qPCR values. Therefore, increases in viral load between March 7th, 2023, and March 12, 2023 are due in part to changes in methods. Previously, we displayed the raw data for dPCR starting in May 2023, however, due to the change , levels in NYC appeared much higher than they actually were. To address this, we have temporarily adjusted NYC’s data to make it comparable to older data using a linear adjustment that translates the dPCR data to levels comparable to RT-qPCR data. These new levels are now displayed and present estimates for SARS-CoV-2 levels found in wastewater.
These charts show the percent and number of tested cases each week over the past three months that have the most common variants in New York City, including delta and omicron.
These charts show the percent of NYC's confirmed COVID-19 cases that have been tested for virus variants and reported to the Health Department over the past three months, and the total number tested each week.
