It's not enough and not often enough, but may as well take your free tests when you can.

    Just as a reminder, these are antigen tests.

    Antigen tests help to gauge infectiousness. PCR tests gauge if you’ve contracted the virus.

    Antigen tests will be NEGATIVE if your body is not producing a certain amount of COVID antigens (ie you were just infected). If you’re worried that you may have contracted COVID and/or are asymptomatic then you NEED A PCR TEST.

    And if you do have COVID please use an antigen test 14 days after your first positive test (whether that was antigen or PCR) and KEEP TESTING EVERY 48 HOURS UNTIL YOU ARE NEGATIVE.

    Oh and WEAR A GODDAMN MASK
