Actions taken in the current situation

The Sars Centre shut down its experimental activity March 13, due to the threat by the coronavirus (COVID-19). With this action we will contribute to slow down the spread of the virus, maintain safety and health for our employees, and most important to protect the vulnerable in our society.
