China - Feb 7
China has joined the fight against deadly infectious diseases with the operation of its P4 lab. The lab was erected in 2003 due to the lethal spread of acute respiratory syndrome. From then it hopes to become the first Asian operating P4 laboratory. The importance of the laboratory stems from its tight security that allows for extreme measures so nothing except the researchers leaves the lab alive. Currently they are researching viruses such as Ebola. Source: China Daily
