The level of coronavirus in wastewater has increased this week (May 3-7), the University of Tartu's latest study shows. Samples with a concentration of the virus have been collected all over Estonia, which is why precautions to prevent the spread of the virus must be taken very seriously everywhere. Lead researcher, Professor of Technology of Antimicrobial Compounds of the University of Tartu Tanel Tenson, said it is alarming that the slow decrease in the virus concentration in April has turned to rise again. "The increase is confirmed by the index illustrating of the average situation in Est...

The level of coronavirus detected in waste water across Estonia has remained stable in recent weeks, and in the case of Harju County even fallen more quickly, according to a recent study by the University of Tartu.

Professor of Technology of Antimicrobial Compounds at the University of Tartu, Tanel Tenson, who heads up the study, says the index illustrating the average si...

The latest study report results for the first week of March. The study does not include results for Paide in central Estonia this week as samples did not give a reliable picture of the situation, the university said. Veljo Kisand, Associate Professor of Molecular Ecology at the University of Tartu, said the sample from Paide was probably affected by the huge amount of snowmelt that had overly diluted human waste water. "The E. coli content in the sample was also 100–1,000 times lower than usual. Normally, large quantities of the bacteria reach the sewage from the human digestive tract. This...
