New information shows far more people have coronavirus in Tehama County than have been confirmed through testing.

 

CORNING, Calif. โ€“ A number of the new cases in Tehama county are out of Corning and the county can't figure out where or when all the people got sick. Health officials said some of these cases were community-acquired, whereby no specific place or event was identified to be the main source of infection.

The county says a private company,Biobot Analytics, tested samples from the Corning Wastewater Treatment Plant each week in May to estimate the actual number of people infected.

On the week of May 19, samples showed 35 cases out of Corning. Health officials say this indicates the virus is more prevalent than previously thought.

Now, Tehama County Public Health is urging everyone to get tested. Click Here to see where you can get tested in Tehama County.

Our story

 

Founded by a biologist and an architect, our team has exemplified the power of interdisciplinary collaboration from its beginning. As a first-year PhD student at MIT, Dr. Mariana Matus was inspired to start wastewater epidemiology research, so she could apply her technical skills to improve public health. With the support of Professors Eric Alm and Carlo Ratti, her research grew into the MIT Underworlds Project. Newsha Ghaeli, an urban studies researcher, joined the project with an interest in how new technologies can improve cities and urban life. The two led Underworlds for three years, working with the cities of Cambridge, Boston, Kuwait City, and Seoul. Their work resulted in Dr. Matusโ€™ PhD dissertation in Computational Biology, several scientific publications, and coverage by dozens of local and national media outlets.

 

Inspired by the potential of wastewater epidemiology, Biobot is the first company in the world to commercialize data from sewage. After winning multiple entrepreneurship competitions at MIT, including a place in the DeltaV and DesignX accelerators, Biobot completed the Y Combinator accelerator in San Francisco. Headquartered in the Boston area, we aim to extend our wastewater epidemiology platform across all five continents.
