Biosafety proposal for fungal examination in combating COVID-19 infection

Abstract

Abstract:

With the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 infection, biosafety in clinical laboratory has become increasingly important. Based on Chinese National Recommendations and relevant guidelines, we propose this document about biosafety when fungal examination. This proposal consists of applicability, safety principles, personal precaution, specimen collection, specimen transport, specimen handling, analysis, post-analysis and occupational exposure, and gives recommendations on biosafety precaution and biosafety protection. We hope that it can be practically implemented and continuously improved to ensure laboratory safety.

Key words: COVID-19 infection, pathogenic fungi, fungal examination, clinical laboratory, biosafety
