- 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 with their COVID-19 vaccines.
What if you test Positive?
A positive at-home test result means that the test has detected the virus, and it is very likely have COVID-19. If your at-home test shows a positive result, follow the
latest CDC guidance for isolation.
What if you test Negative?
A negative at-home test result means that the test did not detect the virus, and you may have a lower risk of spreading COVID-19 to others. Check your test kit for instructions and 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.
Testing is only one step you can take to protect yourself, friends, family, and others. Everyone is encouraged to:
- Become up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccinations. Visit vaccines.gov to find a vaccine or booster location near you
- Follow the CDC Face Covering guidelines and wear a well-fitted mask when gathering indoors
- Maintain 6 feet of distance between people
