To date, we do not fully understand the pathogenic potential and transmission dynamics of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Until more information becomes available, precautions should be taken in collecting and handling specimens that may contain 2019-nCoV. Timely communication between clinical and laboratory staff is essential to minimize the risk incurred in handling specimens from patients with possible 2019-nCoV infection. Such specimens should be labeled accordingly, and the laboratory should be alerted to ensure proper specimen handling. General and specific biosafety guidelines for handling 2019-nCoV specimens are provided below.2020864
