In the spring, two publications were published that are important for biosecurity. The WHO published Laboratory biosecurity guidance.

The Biosecurity Office regularly attends meetings abroad with the aim of sharing knowledge, acquiring knowledge and networking.

Every now and then you read about an incident involving a powder letter in the news.

In June 2024, WHO has published the revised Laboratory biosecurity guidance.

As of May 2024, CWA 16335:2011 Biosafety professional competence standard has been converted to ISO/TS 5441:2024 Competence requirements for biorisk management advisors.
