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.
