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, follow the latest CDC guidance for isolation.

Treatments for COVID-19 are now widely available. If you test positive and are
at high risk for severe COVID-19 (age 50 and over or you have a weakened immune
system or other health conditions), talk to a doctor as soon as possible about
available treatment options.

The Test-to-Treat program is one easy way to get treatment. Test-to-Treat
locations will give you a test and treatment. Find a Test-to-Treat location near
you


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.
