    A male laboratory technician or scientist wearing a white lab coat, glasses, and a face mask is working inside a sealed glove box or containment enclosure. He has inserted his arms through large rubber port sleeves and is wearing purple nitrile gloves to manipulate samples or equipment inside the controlled environment. The stainless steel enclosure appears to be a biosafety or anaerobic chamber used for handling sensitive materials.

    Maj. Dmitry Pervitsky, a lead microbiologist for the 773rd Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (Chemical) Company, field tests for COVID-19 at the Drawsko Pomorskie Training Area in Poland. Pervitsky uses an Analytical Laboratory System that detects and identifies chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents and threats. The 773rd CST modified their ALS system, using the same principles successfully used in the detection of the Ebola virus, to support the identification of the novel coronavirus.
