Many of you may have ordered Covid At-Home Test kits through the web site: COVID.gov/tests -Free at-homeCOVID-19tests

Please be advised that the printed expiration date on the box may have been extended. 

Go to this website: At-Home OTC COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests | FDA

Once on the website, to see if the expiration date for your at-home OTC COVID-19 test has been extended, first find the row in the table on the website that matches the manufacturer and test name shown on the box label of your test.  

•  If the Expiration Date column says that the shelf-life is "extended," there is a link to "updated expiration dates" where you can find a list of the original expiration dates and the new expiration dates.  Find the original expiration date on the box label of your test and then look for the new expiration date in the "updated expiration dates" table for your test.  

• If the Expiration Date column does not say the shelf-life is extended, that means the expiration date on the box label of your test is still correct.  The table will say "See box label" instead of having a link to updated expiration dates. 

Spread the word. Don’t throw away those test kits just yet!
