Let’s celebrate the lowest Covid levels recorded since the pandemic started
The best measure available of the prevalence of Covid in the community is wastewater measurement. For inexplicable reasons, England stopped its wastewater monitoring in March 2022, but Scotland has been running it since June 2020.
We see the same pattern across Europe. Below is the plot from the Netherlands which is nice because it overlays all the different years. This year (2025/26) is in red and again, record low levels are evident.
