根据桑斯·本·卡丁(Ben Cardin)、克里斯·范·霍伦(Chris Van Hollen)和戴维·特龙(David Trone)和杰米·拉斯金(Jamie Raskin)的新闻稿，CDC批准了美国陆军传染病医学研究所恢复全力，使其能够全面开展传染病方面的工作。


“美援署就传染病的传播和控制进行重要研究。随着我们继续与冠状病毒的爆发作斗争，现在比以往任何时候都更重要的是确保他们能够满负荷工作，“VanHollen在发布会上说。“我们努力确保美援署拥有必要的资源，以获得疾病预防控制中心的批准，并恢复到充分的运作能力。”我们将继续努力为美援署提供资金，以执行其关键任务。“ 6park.com


今年7月，疾控中心发布了一项停止和停止在3级和4级生物安全实验室工作的命令，在那里，研究人员处理诸如埃博拉和导致鼠疫的细菌等危险病原体。这一命令是在疾控中心在一次实地考察中注意到生物安全协议失效后下达的。


据“弗雷德里克新闻邮报”去年获得的一份报告称，美援署向疾控中心报告的两起违规事件表明，美国陆军实验室未能“实施和维持足以遏制生物安全三级和四级实验室的特定制剂或毒素的遏制程序”。 6park.com


疾病预防控制中心自7月以来多次对美国MRIID进行检查，允许实验室在11月恢复部分操作。每次后续访问都允许多做一些工作。

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has restored a military laboratory on Fort Detrick to full capacity, approximately eight months after shutting down research in its top laboratories.


The CDC approved U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases return to full capacity, allowing it to conduct its full scope of work on infectious diseases, according to a press release from Sens. Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen and Reps. David Trone and Jamie Raskin.


“USAMRIID conducts vital research on the spread and containment of infectious diseases. As we continue to battle the coronavirus outbreak, ensuring their ability to work at full capacity is more important now than ever,” Van Hollen said in the release. “We fought hard to ensure USAMRIID had the resources necessary to receive CDC approval and get back up to full operational capacity. We will continue working to support funding for USAMRIID to carry out its crucial mission.”


In July, the CDC issued a cease and desist order for work in biosafety level 3 and 4 laboratories, where researchers handle dangerous pathogens like Ebola and the bacteria causing the plague. The order came after the CDC noted lapses in biosafety protocols during a site visit.


The two breaches reported by USAMRIID to the CDC demonstrated a failure of the Army laboratory to “implement and maintain containment procedures sufficient to contain select agents or toxins” that were made by operations in the biosafety level 3 and 4 laboratories, according to a report obtained last year by The Frederick News-Post.


The CDC revisited USAMRIID multiple times since July, allowing the laboratory to resume partial operations in November. Each follow-up visit allowed a little more work.
