Featured Programs & Initiatives

COVID tests may still be valid

As you gear up for the holidays, the FDA wants to remind you about a few things regarding at-home COVID-19 tests:

We have authorized many at-home #COVID tests. This means you can conveniently collect your own sample, perform the test, and read the result yourself.

Many at-home COVID-19 tests have expiration dates that have been extended!

Check if your at-home COVID-19 test has a new expiration date.
