Results from sampling Nov. 7 and 8 by Oregon State University and the University of Oregon suggest that about five people per 1,000 in Eugene at the time had the virus that causes COVID-19.
Scientists and students from Oregon State University and the University of Oregon are teaming up to bring OSU’s TRACE Community COVID-19 public health project to Lane County.
Addressing critical health issues takes knowledgeable and committed researchers – and funding.
The fifth round of sampling throughout the Corvallis community by TRACE-COVID-19 suggested three people per 1,000 carried the novel coronavirus on those days.
Oregon State will extend its ongoing TRACE-COVID-19 project to its students, faculty and staff by providing weekly prevalence testing during fall term.
The latest round of sampling will conclude five days before OSU students living in on-campus housing begin moving in, and 10 days before fall term classes begin.
