Brock University has made available PPE of gloves masks and more to Niagara Public Health, as well as discussing ways to use the University’s facilities in the battle against the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Canada's government has already approved Brock's Level 3 containment laboratory (CL3) to be used for virus research.
In regard to the CL3 lab, Biological Safety Levels in a lab are ranked from one to four depending on the potential threat of organisms or agents being studied.
Level 3 allows Professor of Biology Fiona Hunter to study other harmful viruses like Zika and West Nile.
Brock also has several lower level labs that can possibly be used to support COVID-19 testing if there is a need from Public Health.
Beyond the biological laboratories is a spectrum of expertise that can address all parts of the pandemic, including risk management, children’s mental health and more.
