Data as of May 10, 2022
COVID-19 Levels in NYS Wastewater by County

Chautauqua County is now included in the statewide dashboard.
COVID-19 Wastewater Analysis Data
Dunkirk: COVID-19 Levels are LOW
Wastewater samples represent the entire City of Dunkirk.
Jamestown: COVID-19 Levels are LOW
Wastewater samples are representative of all contributions from the City of Jamestown and the Village of Falconer.
Please note (added 5/4/22):
Wastewater results now include the total flow of gallons per day (in blue) being treated at each wastewater treatment plant. Higher flow rates through the treatment plant can dilute the wastewater sample and reduce the amount of SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies found per liter. Including wastewater, the Dunkirk Wastewater treatment facility processes storm water and Jamestown BPU Wastewater treatment facility accepts septic and landfill waste. Storm water, as well as, septic and landfill waste can dilute the sample being taken for wastewater analysis.

COVID-19 Community Levels
CDC looks at the combination of three metrics — new COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population in the past 7 days, the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, and total new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 7 days — to determine the COVID-19 community level. New COVID-19 admissions and the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied represent the current potential for strain on the health system. Data on new cases acts as an early warning indicator of potential increases in health system strain in the event of a COVID-19 surge.
Using these data, the COVID-19 community level is classified as low, medium, or high.
