CDC detects coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis and herpes at unlicensed California lab
Local and federal authorities spent months investigating a warehouse in Fresno County, California, that they suspect was home to an illegal, unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials.

All of the biological agents were destroyed by July 7 following a legal abatement process by the agency.
