REPORT, REPORT, REPORT!!!!

Many people forget an important part of doing their COVID-19 at-home antigen tests. They don’t report the results to the state.

Why you need to report them

You need to report your test results to your state because it provides critical data on how many people are positive and negative in a given area. If you don’t, the state can make mistakes thinking that they have less cases. This data is super important for your state to make public health decisions, so it’s in your best interest and the people around you to report these results.

How do I report them?

You can report your test results by either going to your state’s reporting website, or you can go the easier route and get your test’s app. One of the most popular tests, BinaxNow has an app called Navica. You can find it on the App Store or on Google Play. Navica guides you through your test and is super easy to use, and it automatically reports your results once you’re done.

Don’t just report positives

Reporting only positive tests can give an inaccurate picture to your state, so report both positive and negatives.
