Overview

  • Perform the test as prompted (approximately 20 minutes).

  • Complete your test in one sitting. Interruptions (i.e. phone calls) can lead to inaccurate results.

  • It is recommended gloves (not provided) also be used during testing.

  • Testing for asymptomatic individuals should be performed at least twice over three days, with at least twenty-four hours and no more than 48 hours between tests. You may need to purchase additional tests to perform this serial (repeat) testing. 

  • There is a higher chance of false negative results with antigen tests than with laboratory-based molecular tests.  This means that there is a higher chance this test will give you a negative result when you have a COVID-19.

  • Serial testing (i.e., testing every day or every other day) is more likely to detect COVID-19, especially when you do not have any symptoms.
