COVID-19 Joint Statement from ABSA International and CABS
As leaders of the Canadian Association for Biological Safety (CABS) and ABSA International, we deeply appreciate the valuable work of our members and partners during this critical response to coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As neighbors, we plan to cultivate a strong relationship and encourage collaboration between the organizations and our members. As we know, viruses don’t respect borders so it is important to work together to ensure good biosafety and biosecurity practices. ABSA International and CABS would like to share the following resources with all of you and plan to continue collaboration to assist both professional associations. We look forward to both of our conferences and other educational opportunities to share the experiences and lessons learned during this pandemic.
Sincerely,
Tom Walus and David Gillum
President President
