FDA: Take 3 Home Tests If Exposed to COVID to Boost Accuracy

Imagine you’re a treasure hunter searching for buried gold. You start digging in one spot, but there’s a chance you might have missed the target. So, you decide to dig two more holes nearby, just to be certain you don’t miss any precious loot. Well, it turns out that when it comes to COVID-19 testing after exposure, the FDA is recommending a similar approach – taking three home tests instead of two! This new advice comes from U.S. experts who want to make sure that if you’ve been near someone with COVID-19, you have a higher chance of accurately detecting the virus. By increasing the number of tests, it reduces the risk of false negatives and provides a more comprehensive picture of your infection status. So remember, don’t settle for just one or two tests, get that shovel ready and dig for gold with three tests! To learn more about this latest recommendation, dive deep into the research behind it.
