The NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) is deeply concerned
about the impact of the expanding outbreak of the respiratory illness,
COVID-19, on the ability of Assured institutions to support the
well-being of animals and personnel during this public health emergency.

See NOT-OD-20-088
for flexibilities provided in the Public Health Service (PHS) Policy on
Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Policy) that
are applicable to implementing a pandemic plan for animal care and use
programs.
