Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): Biosafety on the Frontlines (Website, Webinar)

Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL)

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED WEBINAR: This webinar will provide attendees with knowledge on how laboratories are safely testing and handling specimens during the COVID-19 response. Speakers will present on the necessary personal protective equipment for laboratories to utilize to reduce the likelihood of a laboratory acquired infection. Participants will also hear recommendations on how to handle potential positive samples and methods on how to mitigate the risk of a laboratory exposure.

The ISAC COVID-19 Workgroup was formed to act as a focal point that brings together scientists from all over the world who are actively engaged or simply interested in the role of cytometry technologies and methodologies in the fight against Coronavirus. Our primary goals are to highlight the role of cytometry in understanding the pathogenesis of diseases and potential therapeutic strategies, facilitate the introduction and interaction of researchers leading to knowledge exchange and collaboration via ISAC’s COVID-19 Interest Group, and provide a portal of relevant resources.

Laboratory biosafety guidance related to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) (Document, Website)

WHO

13 May 2020

The purpose of this document is to provide interim guidance on laboratory biosafety related to the COVID-19 virus to laboratories and stakeholders involved in COVID-19 virus laboratory work. This also includes the packaging and shipment requirements for sending specimens to WHO reference laboratories providing confirmatory testing for COVID-19. Includes additional biosafety recommendations for the usage of Point of care (POC) or near-POC assays that could be performed at patient care settings with certain precautions.
