Through the consent process, SFS had alerted participants that Washington state law requires reporting of infectious diseases, including influenza, 10 but did not discuss the use of SFS's research infrastructure, including data or samples, for other public health activities. In the first few days of March, the University of Washington's ethical review board determined that, given the public health emergency, SFS had an ethical obligation to test all samples for SARS-CoV-2, citing that SFS already had consent from participants to test for another communicable diseases and return those results and, therefore, was already engaged in both research and public health activities.	./cache/cord-288477-dojdlfrv.txt	./txt/cord-288477-dojdlfrv.txt
