Although millions of people have been vaccinated, testing for coronavirus still remains vital to reduce the spread of the pandemic. Fortunately, with the development of at-home coronavirus tests, you can now test for COVID-19 from the privacy and safety of your own home. Here are the top 7 at-home testing kits right now.
1. EverlyWell: EverlyWell was one of the first companies to offer FDA-approved (EAU) at-home coronavirus tests that can detect both asymptomatic and symptomatic cases. Collection requires a lower nasal swab, and you get the results in a day or two.
