A Review of Animal Laboratory Practice in the COVID-19 and Safety Concerns

The research in biomedical sciences is based on basic research on animals. As a consequence of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many research projects involving animal studies have faced interruptions due to the raised concerns about the safety of working with animals The disruption...
