FDA: Don’t use certain COVID-19 antigen tests
The Food and Drug Administration yesterday alerted health care providers and the public to three COVID-19 antigen tests that are not authorized or approved for distribution or use in the United States. Due to the potential for false results, FDA said providers should consider retesting patients with an authorized test if these tests was performed less than two weeks ago and they suspect an inaccurate result.
In other testing news, President Biden last night announced that Americans will be able to order four more free at-home COVID-19 tests starting next week.
