Information on at-home over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 diagnostic tests can be found on this page. If you are infected with COVID-19, diagnostic tests can identify the infection.
These COVID-19 diagnostic tests for self-testing at home are approved by the FDA (or in other locations). This implies that you don't need to send a sample to a lab in order to collect your own sample, run the test, and view the results. Without a prescription, authorized at-home OTC tests can be purchased online or at nearby retailers.
Stopping the spread of COVID-19 illness requires testing as well as other preventative measures including mask use and COVID-19 vaccine.
