Officials said it took 76 days and 14 different agencies to inspect and clean up the facility between April to July this year.

Despite the county's response to the lab's operations, it appears it mostly flew under the radar of much of the public – even though the health department provided public notices on its website this spring. The discovery also came during the early part of the year that consumed local agencies with flooding and storm response.

        Officials said it took 76 days and 14 different agencies to inspect and clean up the facility between April to July this year.

In court documents, health officials outlined their concerns that the biological and chemical materials stored inside the facility posed a risk of infectious disease to the public if they remained in the facility.

At one point in April, the Reedley Fire Department Chief Jerry Isaak even issued a warning to city officials that a potential explosion could also occur because materials were not properly stored.

According to the Fresno County Department of Public Health, Prestige Biotech and Universal Meditech were not listed as a licensed laboratory. Prado said the businesses never provided proper credentials or documentation when asked. Court records showed officials spent weeks and months trying to communicate with the business owners, but weren't always successful.

Fresno County Supervisor Nathan Magsig posted a video on his Facebook page and in it said the City of Fresno first approved Universal Meditech to operate at a business park in the city in 2019.

"When this lab opened up in Reedley, they did not pull a permit. To my understanding, they just showed up to a site and started operating," Magsig said.

March 17, 2023 – Reedley staff engage in email communication with Xiuquin Yao, president of Prestige Biotech. Staff requested licenses or certifications permitting the experimentation of mice. Yao and Prestige Biotech do not provide the information, according to city staff.


March 31, 2023 – Yao reportedly tells Reedley staff mice and biological materials found at the location belonged to Universal MediTech and were moved to Reedley from the previous location in Fresno. Yao reportedly tells staff the company moved out of the Fresno location over threats of eviction. Further information provided in court records show Yao reportedly told staff Universal MediTech filed for bankruptcy and Prestige Biotech is the largest creditor.

May 2-4, 2023 – Staff from the Center for Disease Control's Division of Select Agents and Toxins determine at least 20 potentially infectious agents are present, among them: Chlamydia, E. coli, dengue, HIV, herpes, RSV, malaria and rubella.

At the epicenter of current controversy, an illegal California lab run by a Chinese biotech firm, Prestige Biotech, was recently discovered in a warehouse in Reedley, California. The lab contained mice which were genetically engineered to spread COVID-19.

According to National Review, "court documents further showed that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) conducted tests on the more than 800 chemicals found at the site and that over 20 infectious agents were found present, including Hepatitis B and C, streptococcus pneumonia, chlamydia, rubella, and Herpes 1 and 5." As a federal investigation is underway, where will the money trail lead us?

As recently discovered, Prestige Biotech is registered in the State of Nevada, but unlicensed to conduct business within the State of California. Code enforcement officials from the City of Reedley spoke to Xiuqin Yao, President of Prestige Biotech, as identified via emails and court documents. Ms. Yao informed authorities that the company was the largest creditor of Universal Meditech (UMI), Inc. which filed for bankruptcy. UMI had been relocated from the City of Fresno to the Reedley warehouse following an electrical fire, and when UMI ceased operations. According to NBC News, "Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI and identified as its successor, according to court documents."

A document released on March 24, 2019 by Governor Newsom's Office of Business and Economic Development, a California Competes tax credit allocation agreement of $360,000 was cemented with UMI.
