Ellis, who didn’t immediately reply to a Monday phone message from The Associated Press, called the police, who referred the issue to the county health department, according to East Moline police Chief Jeff Ramsey.
Janet Hill, the chief operating officer at the Rock Island County Health Department, told the AP that she picked up the biohazard bag over the weekend and that it appeared to contain a used nasal swab and identifying information of a person from Virginia. She said she was figuring out what to do next, including contacting health officials in Virginia and trying to determine if the specimen was still viable.

Researchers successfully identified a subset of elite eventing horses at increased risk of a poor cross-country performance, after applying a ridden horse behaviour scale.
The study, reported in the journal
Equine Veterinary Education, began with a pilot study on a convenience sample of 35 horses competing on the second day of dressage at the Burghley CCI 4 (now 5 ) event in 2018.
The main study a year later involved 70 horses warming up for the dressage phase of the CCI 5 Badminton horse trials in May 2019; and 67 horses warming up in similar fashion for Burghley four months later.
