I don't see how this would change anything. They don't touch the contents of the vials anyway, because that would contaminate the sample and render it unusable.
If you think that the outside might be contaminated then if I'm not mistaken, the virus dissipates in like 24 to 48h on plastic surfaces and faster on paper/cardboard. By the time they receive the samples, the outsides become free of virus.
So from their perspective, nothing has changed.

The only disruption I could see happening would maybe be in the shipping process
