This page has information about at-home over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 diagnostic tests. Diagnostic tests can show if you have an active COVID-19 infection.

These at-home COVID-19 diagnostic tests are FDA authorized for self-testing at home (or in other locations).  This means you collect your own sample, perform the test, and read the result yourself without the need to send a sample to a laboratory. Authorized at-home OTC tests are available without a prescription and are typically available online or at local stores.

Testing and other protective steps like wearing a mask and COVID-19 vaccination are essential to stop the spread of COVID-19 infection.
