Leuven sewage shows highest coronavirus levels in a year, virologist warns

SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in Leuven's sewage water have hit their highest level in a year, indicating renewed strong circulation of the virus, according to virologist Elke Wollants of KU Leuven's Rega Institute. The finding suggests a new wave of infections, though the source does not specify variant or clinical impact. This matters as it signals potential increased pressure on healthcare systems and may inform public health responses.
