Their data is still so valuable.

Marseille's marine firefighters, who analyze the city's wastewater to detect Covid-19 concentrations, are warning of a further increase in these concentrations.

Several areas to the north, south, and east of the city have "very high" levels of the virus.

[covid-variants] The general rate of circulation has strengthened this week with a remarkable point the disappearance of the South African variant replaced by a Y501 or UK variant in the red areas.

The firefighters also noticed the virtual disappearance of the South African variant in these surveys, but 42% of the concentrations concern the English variant.

"The general rate of traffic has strengthened this week with a remarkable point the disappearance of the South African variant replaced by a Y501 or UK variant in the red zones", indicate the firefighters on Twitter.
