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 is 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.
Prevention
- 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 your 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 masks 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.

- Tomo follows all city, county, and state executive orders within our offices. Masks are required at all times if in line with local executive orders for all employees, donors, and donor guests meeting age requirements. Tomo follows all client initiatives when testing onsite as well.
Staff
Until otherwise noted, staff should continue to report to work as usual. If you feel sick, contact your supervisor and stay home.
Masks are required to be worn at all times during testing, and operating hours if in accordance with the city, county, and state executive ordinances you are working in. You are also to follow any additional client COVID-19 safety directives when testing onsite.
Donors and Offices
We have implemented additional safety measures at ALL TOMO OFFICES and ONSITE TESTING to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
- Offices are “donor only” facilities: All guests with a donor are asked to wait outside and not congregate in the office waiting room. An exception is made for minor children. However, we would ask that donors do not bring children to the testing offices, when feasible.
- Tomo staff will sanitize the testing location upon arriving, between each collection, and at the end of the testing session to ensure it is sanitized. This includes wiping down restrooms, pens, door handles, laptops, etc.
- Collectors will wear masks at all times during testing and while onsite at your facility.
- Staff will wash their hands according to CDC recommended hand-washing guidelines, and remain gloved during testing at any location.
- Our staff will sanitize their gloves between each donor.
- Donors as always will continue to be required to wash their hands before and after providing a urine specimen.
- Donors are asked to wash their hands before and after providing a specimen.
- As Tomo is following guidelines and safety protocols, please allow extra time between each test to allow our staff to sanitize the testing area.
Office and onsite safety protocols listed above can be found here.
Office face mask policy:
- Face masks are required within Tomo offices if in line with local executive orders. Employees and donors must wear face coverings at all times at these offices. Tomo reserves the right to turn away donors refusing compliance.
Until otherwise noted, testing will continue as usual.
