On December, 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which has now been detected in other regions in China and abroad. The virus seems to be highly contagious and has a high fatality rate. The rapid and accurate laboratory test is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of the novel coronavirus pneumonia and the clinical specimenscollected from patients with COVID-19 for testing have potential pathogenicity and high infectivity. Therefore, the laboratory test of SARS-CoV-2 and the management of clinical laboratory have become the research topics in China.The related measures of prevention and control are summarized.

Key words: Novel coronavirus, Etiological features, Clinical laboratory testing, Bio-safety protec
