In recent years when the epidemic broke out, the biological laboratory gradually attracted the attention of human beings all over the world. The laboratory is a necessary place for scientific research. According to the risk level, including the infectivity and harmfulness of infectious pathogens, the biological laboratory is divided into four levels according to the biosafety level: P 1, P2, P3 and P4. In fact, level 4 laboratories can also be divided according to the safety level, and their strictness is from low to high.
So why build P3 laboratory? Epidemic prevention and control has revealed that there are still many shortcomings in China's major epidemic prevention and control capabilities and institutional mechanisms. To this end, this plan puts forward that it is an urgent task to comprehensively fill shortcomings, plug loopholes and strengthen the construction of public medical and health institutions in public health, especially in the prevention and control of major epidemics, to protect people's lives and health, promote stable economic and social development, and safeguard national public health and safety.
What are the requirements for building a laboratory? Improve the facilities and equipment of disease control institutions in an all-round way, and realize that each province has at least one biosafety level III laboratory (P3) and each prefecture-level city has at least one biosafety level II laboratory (P2), which has the inspection and detection capabilities required for infectious disease pathogens, health hazard factors and the implementation of national health standards.
