Graphic showing the 14-day average Covid-19 positivity rate over time. The graph shows the number of tests with red yellow bars and the number of positive results with red bars. The 14-day average positivity rate is represented by a purple line across the graph that peaks at 38.0% on January 5, 2022. The title reads “Covid-19 positivity rate: Houston” and the Houston Health Department logo is on the top right. The chart also shoes the wastewater virus load with a green line that slightly precedes and mirrors the positivity rate.
