One way to ensure your safety and that of the people around you is by monitoring whether or not you have COVID – and yes, there are lines at most if not all COVID testing locations throughout the day but that’s when the at-home COVID tests come in handy. When you’re in a pinch, these easy DIY tests can determine if you are negative or positive if you are exhibiting symptoms (but please note that PCRs are much more effective, so this should be additional testing done, according to medical experts). Read on for where to purchase an at-home Rapid COVID test in Hoboken and Jersey City.

The CDC states:
- – Self-tests can be taken at home or anywhere, are easy to use, and produce rapid results.
- – You can use self-tests regardless of vaccination status, or whether you are symptomatic
- – Follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions for performing the test.
- – If you test positive, you should isolate and inform your healthcare provider, as well as any close contacts.
- – Consider using a self-test before joining indoor gatherings with others who are not in your household.
- – A positive self-test result means that the test detected the virus, and you are very likely to have an infection and should stay home or isolate for 10 days. Wear a mask if you could have contact with others, and avoid indoor gatherings to reduce the risk of spreading disease to someone else.
- – A negative self-test result means that the test did not detect the virus and you may not have an infection, but it does not rule out infection. Repeating the test within a few days, with at least 24 hours between tests, will increase the confidence that you are not infected.
