Protocol for Serological Testing of Participants

(Last update: June 9, 2020)

All participants in IESE programs are required to undergo testing before coming to campus. You are not required to repeat testing if you have already undergone serological or PCR testing in the 7 days before you come to campus. You can introduce the results of those tests directly into the health questionnaire to access campus.

You must be tested in the following cases:

1. Before coming to campus for the first time. You should be tested during the week before your planned visit. Results normally take up to 4 days, depending on where you are tested and what type of test you have done.

2. When you develop symptoms or if the health questionnaire has denied you access.

3. When it has been more than 7 days since you were last on campus, and during that time you have not completed the health questionnaire.

Cost:

Laboratorio Echevarne will administer tests. IESE is covering the cost of the test for employees and participants, with the exception of custom program participants who must make arrangements for the test through their companies.

You will have to have additional testing done, and cover the cost yourself, if:

• After starting your program you develop symptoms or if the health questionnaire denies you access to campus.

• When it has been more than 7 days since you were last on campus, and during that time you have not completed the health questionnaire. In order to avoid having to repeat the test (to maintain it “live”) we recommend that you complete the health questionnaire once a week. This way, you can access campus without having to repeat the test.

Instructions for serological testing:

1. Your program will contact you before classes start to ask whether you have been tested in the last week or if you require serological testing in order to come to campus. If you need to take the test, you will be sent a medical prescription by email.

2. Find the Laboratorio Echevarne closest to you from the list below. If there is no Laboratorio Echevarne in your city, you can have testing done at the lab of your choice, but IESE will be unable to cover the cost.

Confirm whether you need to make an appointment beforehand. Keep in mind that you should have the testing done during the week before your classes start (and remember that it may take up to 4 days for you to receive results you need to access campus).

3. Bring your DNI/NIE, the prescription and your official health card of your autonomous region the day of the test. If you don’t have a health card, you must provide your social security registration number.

4. You should refrain from eating six hours before the time of the test.

5. Laboratorio Echevarne will send the results to your mobile phone approximately 4 days after testing.

6. Introduce the test* results in the health platform to be able to access campus. The platform is available starting June 10, the first day of the new controls to access campus.

* The results of your test may be consulted by the IESE physician.
