What to expect

Help researchers evaluate new tests to stop the spread of COVID-19!

How can people help?

In this study:

• Participants will provide samples for two tests: a standard test and a research test.
• Participants will be asked about their experience with the research test.

How are the COVID-19 tests done?

• Samples may be from a swab inside the nose, or mouth, or from a finger prick of blood.
• Tests will be conducted by, or under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Will participants get the test results?

• Participants will receive results of a standard test usually in about one week.

What happens if a participant receives a positive test result?

• Participants should contact their local healthcare provider.
• If a participant does not have a healthcare provider and develops serious symptoms, they should contact a nearby emergency department.
• The participant should isolate themselves from others for 10-14 days from the test date, if possible.
• Researchers are required to share participants’ test results and contact the public health department.

What about a participant’s data?

• Data helps researchers evaluate new COVID-19 tests.
• Only researchers will see participant data.
