MOH sent a letter to inform the lab that it has decided to allow the lab to continue using WN in experiments at BSL2 for the next 6 months, after which the lab will stop all experiments dealing with WN at BSL2 and should it want to continue such research, source for a BSL3 lab to work in. As such, the lab will be doing a lot of WN work in the next 6 months to complete crucial studies linked to ongoing work. After March when all live WN stocks must be destroyed, the lab will switch its focus to dengue.

that will certainly be inconvenient. So the whole lab will be doing only dengue research?
The whole lab in the present BSL2 will only do dengue from March next year onwards. If we can find a BSL3 lab to rent/use, WN work can continue. As for now, everything goes on as per normal.
