The research team underlined that, in spite of the slight reduction, the values were still measuring extremely high, which indicated a strong virus prevalence in the country's wastewater. As of last week, scientists have been measuring the virus presence at sewage treatment plants twice a week, to better follow the development of the pandemic.
