At Home COVID Test Kits are Hitting Pharmacy Shelves

The days of trying to find a COVID test are over as pharmacy shelves such as Walgreens, CVS, and even retailers like Walmart will be stocking up on at-home tests. The at-home kits
come with a cotton swab and a test tube. There are a few different ways that the kit will be tested. One way some are being tested is by having an overnight shipping label with which to return the sample to a laboratory. A way to check results is via an app on your phone and will have a medical professional call you if the test comes back positive. It has been stated that this will be a safe and more helpful way to reach a broader audience for testing. There has been no confirmation yet by the state’s health department if a negative test from an at-home kit will be an admission to weddings and other events that require proof of a negative test.
