Louis Pasteur was a microbiologist and a French chemist who was one of the most remarkable founders of medical microbiology. Next in our *Public Health Heroes* series, Pasteur’s contributions to public health were through his discovery that microorganisms cause fermentation and disease. He applied his knowledge on microbes and fermentation and developed a process called pasteurization. Pasteur used a procedure in which he heated 5060 C (120140 F) to prevent contamination. This not only saved the beer, wine, and silk industries in France, it is also a widely known method and is used today to kill organisms that contribute to the aging process and applied to many foods and beverages. Pasteurized foods are now widely accepted as safer foods for the public.

Physicians are still needed to volunteer for medical screening here on 11/12 and at Chico HS on 11/19. Please email Kristy at [email protected] to let us know you’re coming. BGMS providing PPE for physicians and all providers. I hope the students are also reminded to wear a mask.

Get screened! If you are over 50 and have smoked for 20 pack years you need to talk to your doctor about Lung Cancer screening or come see us at Valor Oncology. No referral needed. Walk-ins welcome! Call today! 530-691-5920

#glenncounty #COVID19 Glenn County had 3 new cases since yesterday and 2 recoveries. We currently have two hospitalizations and 26 self-isolating at home for a... total of 28 active cases. Glenn residents have taken a total of 6,200 PCR laboratory tests with 710 cumulative COVID positive cases and 5,490 negative test results. MORE IMPORTANTLY...Glenn County remains in the RED tier. Please look at the colored tier graph below. Even though our adjusted case rate rose back into the purple zone, we now fall under the Small County Framework rules. What does this mean?? Since our population is below 35,000; our absolute (actual) cases must be below 35 per week with a positivity rate below 8%. As you can see in the third graph, our "absolute" cases were at 24 this week. Our positivity rate is in the red tier and under 8%, but also on the rise. Keep Glenn County RED! See more
