Jan 28, 2022 | 1:00 PM

COVID-19 levels in Prince Albert are seeing a sizable drop.

That’s according to the University of Saskatchewan which has been studying wastewater in the community to determine how prevalent the virus is with its latest weekly report showing a roughly 58 per cent decrease in levels.

The Omicron variant is nearly the only strain active in the community, accounting for 99.6 per cent of all current levels.

North Battleford, which is also a part of the study, is also seeing a drop in levels, however, nowhere near as much as P.A.

In the past week, there’s been around an eight per cent drop.
