Conclusion More than 80% of the manual paper request forms will take less than 24 hours to be handled by laboratory personnel; carrying a high potential risk for viral transmission. In this study we focused on defining the major hospital departments that request histopathology (by frequency and percent), measuring the time from handling the paper by clinician staff till handling by laboratory personnel, and comparing the possibility of COVID-19 transmission by paperwork to laboratory personnel, according to their exposure time to these papers. More studies are required to detect stability of the SARS-COV-2 on different surfaces and the potential risk of COVID-19 transmission through papers.	./cache/cord-265598-4h3wx81q.txt	./txt/cord-265598-4h3wx81q.txt
