The Oregon Wastewater Surveillance Program is now routinely testing for the measles virus. Weekly results are shared to the CDC NWSS Wastewater Data for Measles Dashboard (https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/measles.html), which indicates if the wild-type virus has or has not been detected. Any positive results will be communicated by the Oregon Health Authority directly to that community’s local public health department prior to publication on the CDC NWSS dashboard. Beginning today, Oregon data has been uploaded, however the government shutdown is affecting the frequency of dashboard updates.
