Patients might have overwhelmed those hospitals. As it turned out, though, the Field Hospital at the Convention Center only saw about 20 patients. They were described as low acuity, most of whom had been discharged from other hospitals and came here for addict recovery time. Their average length of stay, eight days. While a lot of work went into it, it was certainly well worth it to be prepared. We think, again, that the reason why we had, you know, as few patients as we did is because of the shelter in place order and the fact that people stayed there. Reporter right now crews are in the process of giving the Convention Center a thorough, top to bottom cleaning. The general manager says that includes changing out all the filters in the air circulation system, and the National Guard will be here on monday to do the final packing and shipping of all the materials. Now, again they are preparing to get back to normal operations, but they have no idea when that might happen. In santa clara
The research team concluded that
Salmonella contamination via strawberry roots was not a food safety risk, but the possibility of surface contamination remains.
Strawberry production is one of the driving forces in the Spanish agriculture sector, being one of Europe’s most popular fruits. Their economic relevance, and the value that consumers assign them, make this fruit an object of scientific research from multiple perspectives, including that of food safety.

Strawberry production is one of the driving forces in the Spanish agriculture sector, as strawberries are highly valued for their organoleptic characteristics and health benefits. These two factors, their economic relevance, and the value that consumers assign them, make this fruit an object of scientific research from multiple perspectives, including that of food safety. A research project headed by Liliana Pérez-Lavalle, Elena Carrasco, Pedro Vallesquino-Laguna, Manuel Cejudo, Guiomar Denisse Posada and Antonio Valero has aimed to evaluate whether the Salmonella Thompson bacteria, one of the pathogens that can contaminate the fruit through sewage and/or the soil, could penetrate through the roots of strawberry plants (specifically, the San Andreas variety) and reach the fruit.
