Coronavirus waste water levels in Mass., N.H. soar to ‘very high’ levels – The Boston Globe
The CDC reported that Massachusetts waste water levels reached 13.53 coronavirus RNA copies per milliliter of waste water as of July 20 compared to 6.14 copies per milliliter nationally. Just two weeks earlier, Massachusetts levels were recorded at 3.64 coronavirus RNA copies per milliliter, according to the CDC data.
An equally dramatic escalation was recorded in New Hampshire, according to the CDC. As of July 20, Granite State waste water levels hit 14.49 coronavirus RNA copies per milliliter, the CDC reported. Two weeks earlier, on July 6, test results recorded 4.93 coronavirus RNA copies per milliliter of waste water.
The data places both Massachusetts and New Hampshire among the 19 U.S. states with “very high” levels of the virus, the data shows.
Maine and Connecticut currently both have a “high” level of the virus in wastewater while Vermont and Rhode Island both have “moderate” levels, the CDC said.
Other states registering “very high” waste water levels include California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Maryland, according to the CDC.

(Boone County, Ky.) – On Friday, June 6, Boone County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an anonymous tip of an adult male that traveled from New Hampshire to meet a juvenile female.
The initial investigation showed that Paul Vallatini, 37, had met the female on social media and drove to Florence to meet her.
Deputies made contact with Vallatini and the female, together in Florence. The juvenile female disclosed to deputies that she communicated with him through Snapchat, where he allegedly sent her nude photographs at least five times.
She added that she picked Vallatini up from the airport the day prior and over the two days, he took her shopping, buying her various gifts, including underwear.
Deputies say Vallatini was staying at a local hotel and a number of items corroborating the female’s statements were located, along with condoms that were found in Vallatini’s duffle bag.
Vallatini was charged with five counts of Distribution of Obscene Matter and one count of Human Trafficking – Victim Under 18.
He was lodged at the Boone County Jail.
The man accused in a deadly crash that killed an Endicott police sergeant was arrested and extradited to New Hampshire on Friday.
According to New Hampshire State Police, officers obtained an extraditable arrest warrant in December and charged Keoma Duarte, 40 of New Bedford with two felony counts of reckless conduct and one misdemeanor count of disobeying an officer.
Prosecutors say Keoma Duarte was so drunk the night before Thanksgiving that officers could smell the alcohol on him as they worked to free him from his crumpled Tesla on Interstate 95 near Newbury.
Duarte’s Tesla had slammed head-on into a car that Endicott College Police Sgt. Jeremy Cole was driving, killing the 49-year-old husband and father of four as he drove home from work.
Duarte, 40, was arraigned on vehicular homicide and manslaughter charges from his hospital bed in December. He spoke only once, acknowledging he could hear the judge.
On June 3rd, NH troopers traveled to Bristol County Jail and House of Correction in Massachusetts and took Duarte into custody.
Duarte was then transported back to New Hampshire, where he was held at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections ahead of arraignment on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, in Hampton District Court.
Jeremy Cole was a police sergeant at Endicott College. News of his death shook the close-knit community of students and staff.
The crash remains under investigation.
