COVID-19 Rapid Test

1. Quarantine yourself—stay at home—for 14 days.
2. Monitor symptoms: a fever of 100.4◦F, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat, loss of smell and/or taste, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
3. As much as possible, stay away from others, particularly those who are at higher risk for infection from COVID-19 such as people with underlying medical conditions or pre-existing diseases, young children, seniors, or the elderly.
4. If symptoms appear, consult with a doctor or medical professional to know if you need to get tested to confirm infection and get the necessary care.

1. Refer to your health provider’s treatment plan
2. Isolate yourself. Stay at home and away from other people except when getting medical care.
3. Notify whoever you’ve been in contact with that you’ve tested positive and ask them to participate in contact tracing.
4. Monitor your symptoms and stay in contact with your healthcare provider.
5. While in isolation, do not use the same bathroom as other people in your house and separate all eating utensils and beddings that you use.
6. Always wear a face mask or cover.
7. Always wash your hands.
8. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Testing negative only means that at the time your sample was taken you were not infected. But that does not mean you won’t get infected. The test result only indicates you are not infected at the time of testing. It is best to take preventive measures.

1. Always wear a face covering especially when it is unavoidable for you to go to public places such as the grocery, parks, or riding public transportation.
2. Keep a social distance of at least 6 feet from other people, especially in public places.
3. Always wash your hands for at least 20 seconds using soap and water. Or apply a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol base.
4. Sneeze or cough into a tissue (not your hands) and immediately dispose the tissue.
5. Frequently sanitize “high-touch” areas such as doorknobs, tabletops, countertops, the TV remote, your cellphone, etc.
6. Monitor yourself for COVID-19 symptoms.
