European Pathology Laboratories and COVID-19

Practice in Clinical and Molecular Thoracic European Pathology Laboratories During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The infectivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), notably when handling human samples, remains poorly understood, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in routine clinical and molecular pathology practice, and for personal working in pathology laboratories. This study evaluates the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis in clinical and molecular pathology laboratories in Europe mostly those orientated for diagnosis of thoracic diseases.
