Last Chance for US Households to Order Free Rapid Tests
Testing and Contact Tracing
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
LAST CHANCE for U.S. households to place an order for free COVID-19 rapid tests mailed straight to your door. According to the website, “Ordering through this program will be suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests.” Every home in the U.S. is eligible to Read more…
How well do COVID-19 rapid antigen tests work? Is a single antigen test enough?
Testing and Contact Tracing
Chana Davis, PhD
COVID-19 rapid antigen tests detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus very well when used at the right time – when viral levels are high. Repeat (serial) testing is a powerful way to catch more SARS-CoV-2 infections and reduce false negatives. In a recent study, COVID-19 rapid antigen tests detected the virus roughly 80% of the time when Read more…
I suspect that my kids may have been exposed to COVID-19 at summer camp. What can I do to protect my family and my community from the risk of infection?
Families/Kids Staying Safe Testing and Contact Tracing
Thanks to guest author Dr. Katie Schenk (who recently picked up her kids at camp) for offering to write this post. It’s a great American summer tradition: sleepaway camp! Campfires, singing, sports, smores, and now… COVID-19? Despite best intentions and precautions, the BA.5 surge has already contributed to many COVID-19 outbreaks at summer camp. Camps Read more…
What is going on with Paxlovid rebound?
Testing and Contact Tracing Treatments
Chana Davis, PhD
A: Some people who use Paxlovid to treat COVID-19 experience a “rebound”, which is like a bad sequel that debuts 2-14 days after recovery. Once again, you’re testing positive with rapid antigen tests and /or feeling crummy. You’re also potentially contagious. While a COVID-19 rebound can be really frustrating, Paxlovid is still highly effective at Read more…

Rapid Antigen Testing: When to Test
Testing and Contact Tracing
Chana Davis, PhD
Here’s the latest scoop on when to test for Omicron with rapid antigen tests: NOTE: Be sure to scroll down for more info and resources. 🦠If you’re exposed: Your first positive antigen test could come as early as 2 days or as late as 10 days after exposure. The sweet spot for antigen testing is Read more…
Why is my PCR test still positive if I’ve taken Paxlovid, isolated and have been asymptomatic for many days?
Testing and Contact Tracing
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
Constance from Astoria, NY asks: “I tested positive for COVID-19, took Paxlovid, and isolated for 12 days. My symptoms are gone. Why does my PCR test show I’m positive?” Great question, Constance!

Help! It’s Day 10 and my rapid antigen test is still positive. Am I contagious?
Testing and Contact Tracing
Chana Davis, PhD
A: For most people, the risk of spreading to COVID to others is likely minimal after Day 10 – but not so low that you can throw caution to the wind. While rapid antigen tests can be useful as proxies for contagiousness, their value is unclear after Day 10. Infectious disease experts generally support exiting Read more…
What’s this news about a COVID-19 breath test?
Testing and Contact Tracing
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
A: It’s true that new device was recently approved…but it’s not designed for home use. This week the FDA gave emergency use authorization (EUA) to a new COVID-19 testing device that detects chemical compounds associated with the coronavirus in exhaled breath. The test had good sensitivity and specificity, accurately detecting 91.2% of positive samples 99.3% Read more…
Is it OK to use Flonase, allergy sprays, saline mist, or neti pots before I take a COVID-19 rapid test or will it change my results?
Infection and Spread Testing and Contact Tracing
Aparna Kumar, PhD CRNP MPH
The answer: There is no evidence that using a nose spray will alter your test results. TL; DR: The SARS CoV-2 rapid antigen tests (aka COVID-19 rapid tests) become positive if they find a lot of the protein that that comes from SARS CoV-2. It is not likely that allergy sprays would change the amount Read more…
With so many people using home tests (which mostly go unreported), how can we rely on COVID-19 data to understand community levels of transmission?
Data and Metrics Testing and Contact Tracing
Amanda Simanek, PhD MPH
A: With more people using home rapid tests interpreting local COVID-19 data does become murkier, but a useful addition is wastewater surveillance! TL; DR Keeping an eye on local wastewater surveillance can help round out understanding of community transmission as it doesn’t rely on testing or reporting of test results. ✳️Home testing is great because Read more…

Help! It’s Day 10 and my rapid antigen test is still positive. Am I contagious?
Testing and Contact Tracing
Chana Davis, PhD
A: For most people, the risk of spreading to COVID to others is likely minimal after Day 10 – but not so low that you can throw caution to the wind. While rapid antigen tests can be useful as proxies for contagiousness, their value is unclear after Day 10. Infectious disease experts generally support exiting Read more…
What’s this news about a COVID-19 breath test?
Testing and Contact Tracing
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
A: It’s true that new device was recently approved…but it’s not designed for home use. This week the FDA gave emergency use authorization (EUA) to a new COVID-19 testing device that detects chemical compounds associated with the coronavirus in exhaled breath. The test had good sensitivity and specificity, accurately detecting 91.2% of positive samples 99.3% Read more…
Is it OK to use Flonase, allergy sprays, saline mist, or neti pots before I take a COVID-19 rapid test or will it change my results?
Infection and Spread Testing and Contact Tracing
Aparna Kumar, PhD CRNP MPH
The answer: There is no evidence that using a nose spray will alter your test results. TL; DR: The SARS CoV-2 rapid antigen tests (aka COVID-19 rapid tests) become positive if they find a lot of the protein that that comes from SARS CoV-2. It is not likely that allergy sprays would change the amount Read more…
With so many people using home tests (which mostly go unreported), how can we rely on COVID-19 data to understand community levels of transmission?
Data and Metrics Testing and Contact Tracing
Amanda Simanek, PhD MPH
A: With more people using home rapid tests interpreting local COVID-19 data does become murkier, but a useful addition is wastewater surveillance! TL; DR Keeping an eye on local wastewater surveillance can help round out understanding of community transmission as it doesn’t rely on testing or reporting of test results. ✳️Home testing is great because Read more…
