Denver Auto Study COVID-19 Safety Precautions

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are taking the following precautions to help ensure everyone’s health and safety:

• Following all state and local health guidelines.

• Screening all participants over the phone during recruiting, and all staff and participants as they enter into the building to find out if they have…

1. Traveled internationally or been on a cruise in the past 14 days.
2. Had close contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 within the past 14 days.
3. Had any cold or flu-like symptoms in the past 14 days.

• At the research facility we will have the following precautions in place:

1. The maximum number of people in the 65,000 square foot building at one time will be well below state and local guidelines.
2. Everyone in the building, including all staff, will be required to wear a mask that we will provide and have their temperature taken upon entry. You can wear your own mask if it is a surgical or an N95 mask with no ventilator, but not if it is a homemade or cloth mask. We will also have gloves available if desired. Anyone who has a temperature or refuses to wear a mask will be sent home.
3. Social distancing protocols will be in place. The study will be run to minimize contact between people and maximize distance between people.
4. For this study you will be getting in and out of vehicles. We will limit each vehicle to one person at a time and the vehicle will be thoroughly sanitized after each person.
5. Hand sanitizer will be readily available throughout the building.
6. We will use disinfectant wipes/sprays to frequently wipe down all surfaces (tables, chairs, clipboards, door knobs, etc.).

Refreshments will be limited to select pre-packaged snacks and water.
