COVID-19: Enhanced Biosecurity Protocol for Animal Facilities Managed by the Office of Research, University of Guelph

Temporary Enhanced Biosecurity Protocol

There are important, temporary changes to the biosecurity protocol for animal facilities managed by the Office of Research in consideration of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The present risk necessitates modifications to our biosecurity protocol to protect staff and ensure continuity of animal welfare and care.

As the COVID-19 outbreak evolves, this guidance may change. The risk will be re-assessed regularly by the Office of Research biosecurity committee, comprised of University of Guelph infectious disease experts and senior administrators.
