CDC Wastewater Tracking, Google Verily Contract
The CDC is transitioning its wastewater tracking contract from BioBot to Verily, a subsidiary of Google's parent company, Alphabet. The move is currently on pause due to a contract appeal by BioBot. Verily, which originated as a Google X "moonshot," aims to use data and software to monitor public health trends, including COVID-19, RSV, and polio.
