When should I consider using INDICAID Covid-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test Kit?

We recommended that you use the INDICAID® COVID-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test kit if you are experiencing COVID-19 type symptoms, such as fever, cough, breathing difficulties, fatigue, and/or loss of smell or taste. We also suggest you utilize a COVID-19 test kit if you have been exposed to someone testing positive for COVID-19 (even if you are ‘asymptomatic’).

Testing is also useful before or after travel, or even just to provide you and your family ‘peace of mind’ as you go back to the office, back to school, or attend events with larger groups of people.
