When to Test
Testing at the wrong time and not following updated FDA guidance can lead to inaccurate test results.

- If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19 but don't have symptoms, wait at least five full days after your last exposure. to test.
- Updated FDA guidance recommends that you obtain two negative antigen tests 48 hours apart to rule out COVID, even if you don't have symptoms.
