Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has recently shown to the public its state-of-the-art virology laboratory where they study the samples from coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
In a video released by Dubai Media Office, DHA shows how the laboratory—located in Latifa Women and Children Hospital—studies the COVID-19 samples they get from all the private hospitals in the UAE.
“The samples, when they enter our lab, are handled with extreme precaution following all the international guidelines for safety,” said Dr. Rupa Murly Varghese, Specialist at DHA’s Virology Laboratory, in the video.
She added that they all ensure the absolute confidentiality of the patient and that the samples are handled with extreme care. The workers in the lab are also made to wear an entire set of protective equipment to ensure the right amount of biosafety.
