COVID-19​ TESTING: INFORMED CONSENT

Please carefully read and sign the following Informed Consent:

1. I voluntarily consent and authorize GCS nurses to conduct collection and testing for COVID-19 through a nasal swab as standing orders by our authorized medical director for symptomatic individuals or those whom we felt may have been in close contact with a positive individual. 
2. I authorize the test results to be disclosed to the county, state, or to any other governmental entity as may be required by law.
3. I acknowledge that a positive test result is an indication that I or my child must isolate and/or wear a mask or face covering as directed in an effort to avoid infecting others.
4. I understand this testing site is not acting as my medical provider, this testing does not replace treatment by my medical provider, and I assume complete and full responsibility to take appropriate action with regards to the test results. I agree I will seek medical advice, care, and treatment from my medical provider if I have questions or concerns, or if the condition worsens. 
5. I understand that, as with any medical test, there is potential for false positive or false negative COVID-19 test results.
