At-home testing kits play an important role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 within our communities. At-home rapid tests can be purchased at most local pharmacies and may also be available for free through the Federal USPS Testing Portal or the DOH Say Yes! COVID Test Portal as supplies last.
At-home tests provide the most reliable results when used correctly. However, different types of at-home test kits have different instructions. Be sure to follow the instructions that accompany your at-home test kit for the most accurate results.
