Take an at-⁠home test:

• If you begin having COVID-⁠19 symptoms like fever, sore throat, runny nose, or loss of taste or smell, or
• At least 5 days after you come into close contact with someone with COVID-⁠19, or
• When you’re going to gather with a group of people, especially those who are at risk of severe disease or may not be up to date on their COVID-⁠19 vaccines.

What if you test Positive? A positive at-⁠home test result means that the test found the virus, and you very likely have COVID-⁠19. If you test positive on your at-⁠home test, follow the latest CDC guidance

What if you test Negative?  A negative at-⁠home test result means that the test did not find the virus, and you may have a lower risk of spreading COVID-19 to others. Check your test kit’s instructions for specific next steps. If you test negative, you should test again within a few days with at least 24 hours between tests. If you test negative, follow the latest CDC guidance for self-⁠testing.

Vaccination, Masking, and Social Distancing

Testing is only one step you can take to protect yourself, friends, family, and others. Everyone is encouraged to:

• Get up to date with their COVID-⁠19 vaccinations. Visit vaccines.gov to find a vaccine or booster near you.
• Wear a well-fitted mask when gathering indoors.
• Maintain 6 feet of distance between people.
