For mild respiratory symptoms, testing before travel or a medical procedure, or if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, please consider using an at-home antigen test (which is normally the best course even when PCR testing is available).
PCR testing is typically recommended when directed by a provider.
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home and follow the self-isolation guidelines from the CDC.
In addition, consider talking to your primary care provider to see if you are eligible for treatment, especially if you are considered high-risk.
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home and self-isolate. If possible, use a separate bathroom and avoid sharing personal household items. See more guidelines from the CDC.
If your first COVID-19 test results are negative, repeat the test 48 hours later.
