During the current crisis of the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 which threatens public health, it's crucial to know and assess the best laboratory conditions for biosafety and biosecurity to avoid and control any contamination and spread of this lethal virus. To date, there is no comprehensive and complete study focused on laboratory safety in dealing with emerging coronaviruses in Iran. Additionally, we have lost a large number of medical staff due to an emerging coronavirus. To reduce risks associated with emerging coronavirus treatment, the dimensions of laboratory biosafety were examined in this study. In addition, this research is primarily focused on the assessment of laboratory biosafety when it comes to emerging coronaviruses. We will discuss which aspects should be addressed to address the risks and how to implement them in the right order and at the right time in an effort to be as educative as possible.
