BinaxNOW At-Home COVID tests for students
Considerations for use:
This type of test should be considered when rapid results are needed at home.
Even with a negative test result, a student who is experiencing symptoms should retest and should not return to school until symptoms have improved and the student has been fever free for 24 hours.
This test is packaged with two tests per box so a student can test twice within three days, with at least 36 hours between tests. By testing more frequently, known as serial testing, COVID-19 may be detected more quickly, which helps reduce the spread of infection.
BinaxNOW OTC At-Home test is recommended to be used for people who are symptomatic but may also be used for asymptomatic screening.
When there is a positive test result, families should notify the school.
BinaxNOW OTC At-Home testing is for personal use only and doesn’t provide a documented test result that can be used when traveling.
By filling out this form I am requesting a BinaxNOW At-Home COVID test kit to be sent home with my student.
