The HIV research has been ongoing for over 20 years.For the past two years, we have been conducting research into coronavirus.
These samples were kept in an 80-degree deep freezer.The entire area was inundated by water from the torrential rains.
Employees explained that the power had to be turned off and temperatures dropped to minus 30-40 degrees, from minus 80.
All the samples were moved to other freezers.We must now examine each of the samples to see if they are still usable.Loss of samples could have a major impact on the research process.
For example, if we lose a 90-year-old sample, how will this person be found?
