If a subject signs/symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV2 infection, the subject must have a negative molecular (e.g., polymerase chain reaction {PRC} test result. in addition, if based on the answes to the SARS-CoV2 infection risk assissment tool the sire considers the subject currently at risk for developing SARCS-CoV2 infection, then the subject should wither be tested or advised to come back for the study screening after 14 days.
