The early months of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic forced many laboratories and biobanks, including the ACSR, to develop contingency plans for biobank operations. Fear of the unknown, uncertainty and unpredictability, and the fluid nature of SARS-CoV-2 as a global threat, led to challenges in the continuity of supply chain operations, access to buildings and resources, and level of staffing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the ACSR drafted administrative SOPs on how to develop and implement an emergency response plan during an epidemic and\/or pandemic and define the minimum necessary components of such a plan. <\/p>\n\n\n
