Would you test after a social event?
It’s not too surprising to see that people would want to test after being out socially to protect their family or those who are vulnerable. Typically, people may test 3-5 days after the event, or after they start experiencing symptoms.

Would you test before going to a small indoor get-together
(less than 10 people)?
This is a great opportunity
to have conversations about everyone’s expectations. Work with the person hosting the event to determine people’s openness to any safety measures the group would like or if anyone is immunocompromised.

Would you test before heading to work?
Many workplaces have taken measures to promote a healthy workplace, but people may still be cautious about heading into work. Talk to your manager about measures you’d like to keep in place: from social distance to air ventilation, masks and testing.

Would you test before getting together with 10 or more people?
More people can mean more chances for infections. Feel free to talk to those attending about their comfort levels—and if activities such as meeting outdoors or testing in advance can ease concerns.

Would you test before seeing a vulnerable person such as a baby
or older family member?
Even with many places lifting safety measures, there’s still ways people can protect those most vulnerable to COVID. Testing, masks or meeting outdoors can be great options to lower risk.

Would you test before heading to a concert?
(or other crowded indoor space)?
We’re all determining
our comfort levels when it comes to resuming activities. Testing right before an event — whether it be a concert or wedding — can give people peace of mind.

If you were sick,
would you test?
This is an easy one. Rapid tests can be kept in your medicine cabinet and used to help know whether your cough is something serious so you can take the necessary steps to quarantine.
