Antigen self-testing is an easy and convenient way to test for COVID-19 compared to the more popular PCR testing method. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for antigen tests that can identify SARS-CoV-2.
Many local retailers and pharmacies offer over-the-counter at-home antigen tests available for purchase. Due to the increased demand for testing, it is best to check store availability online or by calling before going to purchase.
Each household in the United States can order free at-home rapid COVID-19 test kits provided by the Federal Government to be mailed directly to their home address. Ordering is available online at covidtests.gov and tests will typically ship within 7-12 days of ordering.

* Please note: A positive test result with the On/Go test kit means individuals should isolate and inform their healthcare provider. A negative test result means that the SARS-CoV 2 protein was not detected at the time the test was taken, so a second test should be taken with at least 24 but not more than 48 hours between tests.
