1. I agree to submit to a COVID-19 viral test approved or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to diagnose a current infection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Currently, Knowles is offering a self-administered, easier-to-use nasal swab test provided by US Health Fairs.org (www.ushealthfairs.org) at the facilities of Knowles located at 25111 Anza Dr., Valencia CA, 91355.
2. I agree to submit the test results or authorize the release of the test results to Knowles.
3. I understand that the results from the test will help identify employees who may have COVID-19 and isolate those employees who test positive, in order to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 in the workplace.
4. I understand that the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, and other privacy laws prohibit Knowles from disclosing my medical/health information, including the test results, to unauthorized individuals.

5. I understand that all employees who are required to report to work, either in person or remotely, as of the date of the signing of this form must submit to the test, and must provide a test result to Knowles. I also understand that, absent extenuating circumstances or required accommodations in accordance with applicable law, failure to submit to the test may prevent me from returning to the workplace or from working remotely for Knowles, and may subject me to discipline, up to and including termination.
6. I understand that the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health – Public Health Emergency Isolation Order issued July 1, 2020 requires any individual who has tested positive for or who is likely to have COVID-19 to stay home and not report to work, until the individual has recovered from COVID-19.
7. I have carefully read the foregoing and fully understand its contents. I acknowledge that my signing of this form is a voluntary act on my part. I also understand that my signing of this form is applicable only to mandatory COVID-19 testing during the week of 01/19/2021, and is not a consent or acknowledgement for any future COVID-19 testing required by Knowles.
