The COVID-19 pandemic has forced forensic practitioners to consider how we perform our normal duties, especially when those duties involve humans. The potential for contracting the virus from working in close contact with living sufferers is high, and we have yet to fully determine the risk of infection from the deceased. In an attempt to support the community, the Journal of Forensic & Legal Medicine has drawn together three articles which underline the importance of continued forensic medical practice during the pandemic and highlight some factors to consider in a Roadmap towards safe practice. Our Roadmap has intentionally taken an international perspective and supports other work we have published in the Journal on our collective response to the COVID-19 crisis.
新冠疫情迫使法医从业者思考我们如何履行正常职责，尤其是当这些职责涉及人类时。在与在世患者密切接触的工作中感染病毒的可能性很高，而且我们尚未完全确定接触死者后的感染风险。为了支持社会各界，《法医学与法律医学杂志》汇集了三篇文章，这些文章强调了疫情期间持续开展法医工作的重要性，并突出了安全实践路线图中需要考虑的一些因素。我们的路线图有意采用了国际视角，并支持我们在该杂志上发表的关于我们对新冠危机集体应对措施的其他作品。
