Some Saskatchewan COVID-19 wastewater numbers hold steady but show jump in BA.2

COVID-19 wastewater numbers show the amount of virus in two cities remain relatively unchanged and decreased in a third.But they also show the more transmissible BA.2 strain of the Omicron variant is spreading.The new strain now accounts for 70 per cent of all detected COVID-19 RNA in North Battleford wastewater, up from just below 50 per cent the week prior. China battles multiple COVID-19 outbreaks, driven by ‘stealth omicron’ variant In Saskatoon, BA.2 accounts for 42.5 per cent, up from 19 per cent.And in Prince Albert BA.2 now makes up 13.6 per cent of detected COVID samples, which increased from around five per cent.Almost all of the remaining detected virus in Prince Albert and North Battleford is BA.1, the original Omicron strain.A little more than 15 per cent of the virus RNA in Saskatoon’s wastewater is neither BA.2 or BA.1.Toxicologist John Giesy, who runs the University of Saskatchewan Global Institute for Water Security, which measures the amounts in the three cities, said it’s likely Alpha or Delta, though he couldn’t be sure.He also couldn’t say how the strain may affect Saskatchewan residents and hospitals, because the lack of timely government data and public health orders, combined with a largely vaccinated population, makes it harder to determine patterns.

How long will it take to regain the hour of morning daylight lost to daylight saving time?

advanced by one hour on Sunday, marking the beginning of daylight saving time – a tradition regulated by the Uniform Time Act of 1966.Under federal law, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.But that hour of daylight gained in the evening doesn't just miraculously appear with the changing of the clocks. Instead, we're simply moving that hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.Now, instead of the sun coming up between 6 and 7 a.m. and setting around 6 to 7 p.m., it doesn't rise until between 7 and 8 a.m., but it's up much later in the evening until about 7 to 8 p.m.That means many of us are waking up in the dark this week, but the trade-off is that we can eat our dinner in the daylight.FILE - Alarm clocks are showing 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
