The director of the Wuhan National Biosafety Lab has refuted rumors which claim that some of the researchers at the facility have secretly sold experimental animals in the market.
Yuan Zhiming says nobody can take things out of the lab without authorization.
"Not even a mosquito can sneak into the lab and none of our researchers can take even a drop of water or a slip of paper out of the lab without authorization. So, when people speculate that we might take the experimental animals out to sell or that these animals might escape from our lab, they actually had no idea about the management and operations of our lab."
The lab is mainly used for research on deadly viruses, especially those without a known cure or vaccine.
Only qualified personnel with extensive bio-safety training and experience are allowed inside.
All waste items undergo bio-safety disposal and sterilization via high temperature and pressure facilities.
