When to test for #COVID

"People often have questions regarding home rapid #antigen Covid tests. A new study shows that if someone is exposed to Covid but they do not have symptoms, they should do a rapid antigen test three times at 48 hour intervals (i.e. day 1, 3, 5) in order to rule out a COVID infection. But, if someone has Covid symptoms after an exposure, they should do a rapid antigen home test two times separated by 48 hours (i.e. day 1 and day 3) in order to rule out being infected."
