#Free tests

[pokabrows]

The us government will be relaunching their program to give out free covid tests at the end of September. Like before each household will be eligible for 4 free tests. I'll make sure to post/reblog something when I find out it's live.

Now, what if you still have some tests? What if they have expiration dates? This page shows updated information on whether those tests are still good:

September 2024 PSA:

USA folks, you can order more free covid tests!

[crytidsprinkles]

I ordered and just received my free tests! The expiration date on mine are the end of Jan. 2024 ❤️

And remember, test for at least 1 week, preferably longer, swap your cheeks as well as your throat not just your nose, track symptoms, be aware of ones requiring medical attention, get antiviral (don't accept no for an answer).

Isolate if you can (10 days to 2 weeks), tell everyone you were in contact with, mask until you test negative after testing period of (same as isolation). Rest often and as much as you can. And always monitor for symptoms and changes warranting ER visit.

Be aware hospitals, emergency departments and urgent cares may be swamped because of the significant increase in patients due to SARS-CoV-2, RSV, Flu, Pneumonia and other opportunistic infections as a consequence of ongoing SARS-CoV-2 spread since 2020.

Tests available with your local DHS (supplies, programs and access depends on your state. If you can definitely connect with people who do and find out if you can request any tests they could order or spare. This goes for multi panel tests in other countries if you know anyone abroad).

Please search your local Department of Health to find where you can order free tests! If safe please consider rapid antigen, PCR (molecular). If you'd like to determine if you've had an infection and neither RAT or PCR detected anything you can requested an antibody test.

You may be able to purchase tests via insurance that are FSA eligible or be reimbursed. Please contact your HMO for questions and details!

*Note: Current variants have mutated to the point of being highly immune evasive. Home rapid antigen tests may take longer to detect an active infection.

If you seem to get a false negative or positive, whatever your results it's best to always investigate further. Treat exposures or possible exposures seriously.

Contact your pharmacy, doctors office, health department or consult with infectious disease experts statements to determine the best testing and method(s) for you*
