| NSF | Contract Lab | USA | Since the onset of COVID-19, organizations around the world have been faced with challenges in workplace safety. Scientific understanding is constantly evolving, and each week brings a better understanding of: How to prevent transmission New health data around real-time community spread Successful efforts to contain the virus In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve established a new service for state governments: COVID-19 compliance assessment with educational outreach and consulting services. We visit and assess local businesses for compliance with COVID-19 guidelines and provide detailed guidance and recommendations to businesses that may fall short of the requirements. We often work with state governments, public health departments, and federal agencies to augment and expand their staffs while providing services and technical expertise aimed at protecting human health. https://www.nsf.org/knowledge-library/nsf-working-states-municipalities-address-surging-covid-19-cases |

| USDA | Testing | USA | In January 2021, President Biden released the National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness (PDF, 24 MB). The plan calls on all parts of the federal government to contribute resources, facilities, personnel, and expertise to contain the pandemic. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responding to the President’s call to action. In addition to personnel, USDA is offering its facilities, cold chain infrastructure, public health experts, disaster response specialists, scientists and researchers, and footprint in rural areas and tribal communities across the country. With a presence in more than 140 countries around the world, USDA is working alongside federal partners to contain the outbreak and message about the importance of vaccinations for pandemic recovery. https://www.usda.gov/coronavirus |

| VIDO/InterVac - Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization - International Vaccine Center | Vaccine | Canada | VIDO-InterVac on track to become ‘Canada’s center for pandemic research’ A major takeaway from the COVID-19 pandemic is that emerging diseases require rapid responses and Canada needs to be better prepared to respond to the next one, says University of Saskatchewan research center leader Dr. Volker Gerdts (DVM). do we have to wait until disease breaks out and then develop vaccines?” said Gerdts, director, and CEO of USask’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac). “Why cannot we predict what the next pathogen will look like so when disease breaks out, we have vaccines available? It sounds naïve and really dreaming but that’s where the field is going, and VIDO-InterVac will be part of this.” The idea of having adaptable vaccine platform technologies is part of Gerdts’ vision for VIDO-InterVac as “Canada’s center for pandemic research.” VIDO-InterVac is already a global leader in efforts to combat COVID-19 and the first in Canada to isolate the virus, develop an animal model, and get a vaccine into animal testing. https://www.vido.org/covid19/updates/ |

LabWare一直在积极与世界各地的公共和私营机构合作，应用我们丰富的专业知识和先进的技术，增强COVID-19检测能力以及其它工作流和运营的效率，以提高实验室的检测能力，满足前所未有的公共卫生检测要求。
我们的努力包括协助扩大英国的NHS COVID-19检测业务；为巴西圣保罗的一个新的COVID-19实验室提供实验室管理软件；协助美国公共卫生客户实施新的COVID-19检测和通信方式，以向疾病预防控制中心CDC报告；增加或扩大非洲撒哈拉以南的公共卫生客户群的COVID-19检测能力；并协助加拿大公共卫生客户改进性能，以应对COVID-19检测的激增。
我们在开发利用LabWare的移动技术，以简化作为现场样本采集和COVID-19检测操作一部分的COVID-19患者登记和样本采集流程。这些解决方案正在我们的州公共卫生实验室客户中部署。
LabWare通过引入一个系统来解决这个问题，该系统使用连接移动热点的平板电脑，运行我们的APP应用程序，与运行我们LIMS的基于云的、遵循HIPAA（健康保险流通与责任法案）的服务器进行通信。该系统可以安排患者到检测地点就诊，获取患者的人口统计信息，并回答许多分诊问题。在现场采集样本时，我们会打印带有条形码以及患者姓名和出生日期的标签。
DOH（卫生部）实验室使用这些信息来识别样本和患者。我们收集的所有数据都将在几分钟之内传输到DOH系统，因此，当样本到达实验室时，将对其进行扫描并准备进行检测。我们于4月初首次在佛罗里达州试用了该系统，我们的计划是收集该系统需要改进的差距信息，以便准备投入使用。
令我们大吃一惊的是，我们所做的一切已经满足了DOH的需要。我们原计划离开佛罗里达，但他们告诉我们希望立即使用该系统。因此，我们留在了佛罗里达州，他们想下周上线。佛罗里达州DOH现在已承诺购买303套移动检测工具箱，足以推广到每个县。
最近，我们开始在特拉华州部署便携式疾病监测实验室工具箱。该设备将用于监视该州内的热点地区。
