COVID Protocol: All donors registered with Elon University’s Anatomical Gift Program will be evaluated for acceptance at the time of death. The Elon on-call professional will determine acceptance using the data provided by the health care provider that pronounces the death. COVID-positive diagnoses will require test results from a post-mortem nasopharyngeal (NP) swab. The Anatomical Gift Program team will continue to wear PPE upon receiving and all donors.
