Get your free rapid antigen testing kit
Rapid antigen testing kits are free for everyone. A pharmacy should never ask you to pay for a kit.
Visit your local pharmacy and ask for your testing kit. Anyone can ask for a kit. You don't have to show ID.
If you can't go to a pharmacy, a friend or family member can pick up a test kit for you.
How to use a test
A test should only be used by people who develop symptoms of COVID-19 and want to confirm a positive or negative result.
- Kids 14 years and younger shouldn't use a test without adult supervision
- Rapid tests are not suitable for international travel requirements
Each kit comes with instructions on how to use the tests. You can also ask the pharmacist if you have questions.
I tested positive
If you get a positive result, you should:
- Immediately self-isolate
- See if you meet the criteria to get a COVID-19 treatment like Paxlovid
I tested negative
If you get a negative result, it means that COVID-19 was not detected. If you continue to feel sick or your symptoms get worse, wait at least a day before taking another test.
Self-isolate until your symptoms improve and you feel well enough to return to regular activities.
