TESTING 12

Testing has its limitations. A negative test today could be a

positive test tomorrow. Testing does not

replace the need to wear masks, social

distance, and practice good hygiene.

REMEMBER: Individuals are advised to get tested 3 to 5 days after possible exposure to reduce the likelihood of getting a false negative.

If you get tested one or two days after exposure, there is a greater chance that

even if you are infected with the virus, you will produce a negative result.
