(NEXSTAR) – Don't be surprised if you start hearing some more coughing in the next few weeks. COVID-19 is once again on the rise in nearly every corner of the U.S.
According to modeling done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 50 states." No states are seeing cases decline, as of mid-August.
Despite the trend, the CDC says severe cases are still pretty rare. Emergency department visits related to COVID are "very low."
Epidemic trend tracking by the CDC shows COVID 'growing' or 'likely growing' in every state. No estimate was given for Iowa. (Map: CDC)
Wastewater data can give us a closer look at where the virus may be circulating most. Testing the sewage can pick up the presence of COVID-19 in a community and "can pick up signs of infection even from people who feel perfectly healthy," the CDC says.
