The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically changed the
world over the past weeks, with already 8,25 million infections and 445,000
deaths worldwide, leading to an unprecedented international global effort to
contain the virus and prevent its spread. The emergence of novel respiratory
viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 creates dramatic challenges to the healthcare
services, including surgical pathology laboratories, despite their extensive
daily experience in dealing with biological and chemical hazards. Here, we cover
important aspects on the knowledge on COVID-19 gathered during the first six
months of the pandemic and address relevant issues on human biological sample
handling in the Anatomic Pathology laboratory in the context of COVID-19 global
threat. In addition, we detail our strategy to minimize the risk of contamination
upon exposure to the different biological products received in the laboratory,
which can be of general interest to other laboratories worldwide. Our approach
has enabled a safe work environment for laboratory staff, while ensuring the
maintenance of high quality standards of the work performed. In times of
uncertainty and given the lack of specific guidelines directed at Anatomic
Pathology services to better deal with the global COVID-19 public-health
emergency, it is essential to share with the community rigorous methodologies
that will enable us to better cope with probable novel waves of COVID-19
infection and other viruses that will possibly arise in the near future.
