Respiratory Virus Wastewater Surveillance

Last updated/revised: January 7, 2026

As of Fall 2025, the COVID-19 & Respiratory Virus Risk Index is changing.

For Respiratory Illness data, please visit our Lakelands Respiratory Dashboard. Please continue to assess personal risk, practice infection prevention, and stay home when sick!

Respiratory Virus Wastewater Surveillance

Wastewater Surveillance is now paused as we develop an updated approach for the Lakelands Public Health area, which includes the City of Kawartha Lakes, County of Haliburton, Northumberland County, and the City and County of Peterborough. Surveillance is set to resume in summer 2026.

If you have questions, please contact us.
