Boston-area COVID wastewater data keeps shooting up, Massachusetts hospitalizations jump again 10 COVID deaths were reported By RICK SOBEY \| rick.sobey@bostonherald.com \| Boston Herald PUBLISHED: May 18, 2022 at 5:25 p.m. \| UPDATED: May 18, 2022 at 8:41 p.m. The Boston-area COVID wastewater tracker continues to shoot up this week, predicting even more infections on the way as virus hospitalizations keep jumping across the region. The wastewater data had briefly dipped, but the virus sewage samples are now climbing again. The south-of-Boston seven-day average for virus wastewater samples spiked 55% in the last week, and the north-of-Boston average has gone up 49%. The higher wastewater levels forecast a continuing rise in cases. Meanwhile, the state Department of Public Health on Wednesday reported 3,948 new COVID cases, similar to last Wednesday’s total of 3,996 infections. Omicron subvariants have sparked a rise in COVID cases. The state’s average percent positivity has jumped to 9.13%, significantly up from 1.6% two months ago.
