Do you provide COVID tests to minor children) Protect yourself from claims with this Release of Liability form for Canadian test providers.

What is the purpose of this Release form?

Any medical service provider who performs COVID or other tests on minor children should ensure that a parent or guardian of the child signs a Release of Liability form beforehand. The intent is to protect the provider against claims for damages if the child becomes ill or suffers adverse effects from the tests.

What is the scope of the release?

The parent / guardian of the child undergoing the test acknowledges:

• that they are aware of the contagious nature of the disease and the risks of exposure to the child from being on the test provider's premises during the test;
• that the test provider does not guarantee the validity of the test and that a negative result could be a false negative.

The parent will indemnify and hold the test provider and its employees and stakeholders harmless against any costs or expenses, and releases the test provider from any liability or claim for damages for illness, injury, disability, death or property damage.

If the test is for purposes of international travel:

The parent / guardian accepts sole responsibility for checking and complying with the requirements of any particular airline or country of destination.

Other key provisions of the COVID Release of Liability

• The parent / guardian understands and agrees that a positive test result will be shared with the appropriate health authorities.
  
  
• The parent will ensure that the child and the family members comply with all federal, provincial and local laws, orders and guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19, including those involving travel.

Where can this Release of Liability form be used?

This is a Canadian legal template which can be used in any province or territory, except for Quebec where a French language version may be required to comply with provincial language laws.
