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 for
isolation.


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.
