Is there a chance of viral contamination in any batches sent to you? If so, how is this addressed?

I know that there are standard ways to detect bacterial and fungal contamination in the lab. Do these or other methods work for viruses?
I am compelled to ask this by the novel coronavirus situation that's mostly in parts of China, but it's possible that anyone who's sick with even ordinary flu or the common cold at some lab somewhere could introduce contagious viruses by being sloppy. I don't know how well viruses survive in powders. I imagine it depends on the powder.
If there's already a post about this somewhere, I'd love to see it. I used the search function and didn't find anything relevant in this subreddit or recent comments by MYASD.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah pretty fundamental for any intelligent company. How many non-laboratory positions do you have?

We have 71 employees at the moment. I believe 12 of them are lab and QA/QC, which is under the lab division. So that leaves 59 non-lab positions.
