Self-test Kits

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.

* 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.
