The United States Government has made it clear that biosafety is to be taken very seriously. In 2014, incidents with Anthrax and Ebola pathogens in CDC laboratories (), prompted the CDC director Tom Frieden to issue a moratorium for research with these types of select agents. An investigation concluded that there was a lack of adherence to safety protocols and "inadequate safeguards" in place. This indicated a lack of proper training or reinforcement of training and supervision on regular basis for lab personnel.
