The situation is finally starting to improve also in Põlva County, which has stood out with the highest infection rates in the current wave.

This week’s results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu show an increase in virus levels. Compared to the index describing the average situation in Estonia, the virus level is the highest in the waste water of places in southern and central Estonia. Larger cities in Ida-Viru County stand out by low levels of the virus.
