Sampling Suggests 32 Cases Per 1,000 Redmond Residents
Oregon State University COVID-19 sampling in Redmond two weeks ago suggested 32 people per 1,000 in the community carried the coronavirus during January 29-31.
“This is one of the higher prevalence estimates we’ve seen in our work with Oregon communities over the past year,” said TRACE-COVID-19 project leader Ben Dalziel, an assistant professor in the OSU College of Science. “It indicates the true number infected is much higher than the number of active cases.”
TRACE co-leader Jeff Bethel, an associate professor in OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences, said the results demonstrate the importance of determining a COVID-19 prevalence estimate for Redmond with winter continuing strongly in Central Oregon.

OSU to bring TRACE Community COVID-19 sampling to Redmond this weekend
REDMOND, Ore. – Oregon State University’s groundbreaking project to determine community prevalence of the novel coronavirus is expanding to include three days of TRACE Community sampling this week in Redmond on Jan. 29, 30 and 31.
“We are excited to partner with the city of Redmond and with Deschutes County to measure the prevalence of the virus that causes COVID-19,” said TRACE-COVID-19 project leader Ben Dalziel, an assistant professor in the OSU College of Science. “We worked with the city of Bend last May and gathered prevalence data to support public health decision making in Deschutes County, and we are glad to return to Central Oregon to gather current information about community prevalence.
