Abstract
The U.O.C. of Microbiology and Virology experienced a disruption of work activity in the year 2020 due to the COVID 19 emergency .On 3 April 2020 the U.O.C. of Microbiology and Virology of the San Camillo-Forlanini Company is included in the network of CORONET laboratories for molecular, antigenic and serological diagnostics of SARS CoV2.To cope with this emergency it was necessary to reorganize the entire laboratory activity, so as to be able to carry out both the routine activities and those concerning the diagnosis of SARS CoV2, coming not only from the San Camillo-Forlanini company, but also from the territorial ASL, Case di Cira, RSA, Drive in and Walk in.The complex and unexpected scenario brought out the need to quickly create an organizational model that could guarantee the execution of routine exams, but also provide a diagnostic priority for SARS-Cov2.The initial phases were difficult on various fronts: in a very short time the laboratory technicians had to learn the most sophisticated molecular techniques indispensable for the diagnosis of SARS CoV2, moreover, it was necessary to face the serious shortage of reagents difficult to find on the market. Europe.However, the biggest challenge was managing the hundreds of daily samples.Thanks to the reorganization implemented, the U.O.C. of Microbiology and Virology is able to carry out surveys on increasingly large population samples, in compliance with regional and national guidelines.
