  • Consent for Testing

    Please read carefully. Submission of this form equals agreement with all terms.

  • a. I voluntarily consent and authorize Western UP Health Department to conduct collection, testing, and analysis for the purposes of a COVID-19 diagnostic test. I acknowledge and understand that my COVID-19 diagnostic test will require the collection of an appropriate sample through a nasopharyngeal swab, nasal swab, oral swab, or other recommended collection procedures.

    b.   I understand that I am not creating a patient relationship with the ordering physician by participating in this testing. I understand the entity performing the test is not acting as my medical provider. Testing does not replace treatment by my medical provider.

    c.  I assume complete and full responsibility to take appropriate action with regards to my test results and my medical care. I agree to seek medical advice, care, and treatment from my medical provider or other health care entity if I have questions or concerns, if I develop symptoms of COVID-19, or if my condition worsens. 

    d.   I understand that my test results will be disclosed to the appropriate public health authorities as is required by law.

    e.   I acknowledge that a negative test result is not a guarantee that I am not currently infected with COVID-19 and I may still need to be in isolation or quarantine.  I understand that there are risks and benefits associated with undergoing a diagnostic test for COVID-19 and there may be a potential for false positive or false negative test results.

  • To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release, discharge and hold harmless, Western Upper Peninsula Health Department, including, without limitation, any its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from any and all claims, liability, and damages, of whatever kind or nature, arising out of or in connection with any act or omission relating to my COVID-19 diagnostic test or the disclosure of my COVID-19 test results.
