COVID-19 Testing And Protocol Agreement In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Affair Recovery has put in place safety rules and precautions. We require all in-person EMS Weekend participants to: Complete a PCR test the MONDAY before EMS Weekend. Self administered PCR tests and at-home tests will not be accepted. Antigen rapid test results will not be accepted. PCR tests are also called molecular tests, viral RNA tests, and nucleic acid tests. Email your PCR test results by noon on the THURSDAY before EMS Weekend to support@hope-now.com. If you receive a positive COVID-19 result, please contact us immediately via email. We will attempt to reschedule your reservation for the next available in-person EMS Weekend OR arrange for you to attend the EMS Weekend virtually from your home. Have health screenings each morning including temperature checks. Practice social distancing by allowing six feet of space between themselves and others. For additional details, please see the below Informed Consent Section. Here's what you need to know about PCR testing: What is a PCR test? Also called molecular tests, viral RNA tests, and nucleic acid tests, PCR tests are used to detect genetic material of the coronavirus. Where can you get a PCR test? Several major pharmacy chains now offer PCR testing at select locations, including CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid. To schedule an appointment, you may have to complete an initial questionnaire. You can get tested for free through Curative at one of 10,000 participating locations. The Curative test swabs the mouth instead of nose. How much does a PCR test cost? Right now, many sites are offering PCR testing free of charge to adults and children over the age of 3. For more accurate pricing information, please contact your insurance and the testing location of your choice. How long does it take to get PCR results? On average, it can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours (some locations say up to seven days) to receive PCR test results. These times will vary depending on the testing location. To ensure you get your results in time, please contact the testing location of your choice. The safety of our EMS Weekend participants is our top priority. To that end, if you have any questions about PCR testing or any of the safety requirements we've put in place, you can contact us at support@hope-now.com or 1-888-527-2367. Please understand that these rules and precautions may be updated at any time to better protect our participants.
