Patient COVID Swab tranport

Is there any special education that is needed if you are transporting patient swabs from your clinic site to either another clinic or the laboratory for testing? Since these are Category B specimens I was unsure since all I find is about shipping but we are not going to be doing that we just need to get it to another location.

Thanks!
