Tomo Drug Testing - Coronavirus (COVID-19)

At this time Tomo will continue to offer testing services both in our offices and onsite at client locations. Our Corporate Office is still open.

Tomo Drug Testing has been closely monitoring Coronavirus (COVID-19) and are committed to keeping you updated. We have informed our employees and donors of additional precautionary safety measures to limit the spread of this virus for our top priority has and always will be the safety and well being of our staff, donors, and community.

Please remember that most people who get COVID-19 have very mild or no symptoms and most recover on their own. Those at higher risk are older adults and people with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and lung disease.

None of our offices have confirmed cases of COVID-19. However our concern is and always will be the safety, health, and well being of our staff, clients, and donors.

Prevention

According to the CDC there is currently no vaccine for COVID-19. Better protect yourself with these tips:

Wash your hands often:
- Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available
Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
If you feel sick:
- Stay home
- Wash hands often
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces
- Practice good respiratory hygiene (cover you cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash)

Considerations and tips for face masks:

CDC recommends that people wear cloth face masks in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
Cloth face masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others.
Cloth face masks are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings.
Cloth face mask should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Cloth face masks are a critical preventive measure and are most essential in times when social distancing is difficult. If cloth face masks cannot be used, make sure to take other measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread, including social distancing, frequent hand washing, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
