How to use a test

​A test should only be used by people who develop symptoms of COVID-19 and want to confirm a positive or negative result.

• Kids 14 years and younger shouldn't use a test without adult supervision
• Rapid tests are not suitable for international travel requirements

Each kit comes with instructions on how to use the tests. You can also ask the pharmacist if you have questions. Download instructions:

I tested positive

If you get a positive result, you should:

• Immediately self-isolate
• See if you meet the criteria to get a COVID-19 treatment like 

  Paxlovid

I tested negative

If you get a negative result, it means that COVID-19 was not detected. 

Self-isolate until your symptoms improve and you feel well enough to return to regular activities.
