The iHealth rapid antigen test helps detect the virus that causes COVID-19. If you have symptoms, the test can quickly tell whether you have COVID-19. You can do the nasal swab test anywhere and get results in about 15 minutes.
You can use your iHealth test on members of your household who are 2 years old or older at any time. The Minnesota Department of Health recommends testing for the following reasons:
You are feeling symptoms of COVID-19;
You had a close contact with someone who has COVID-19;
You might have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19;
You are testing before going to a large gathering.
Even with a negative rapid test result, someone who has symptoms should take a PCR COVID-19 test and should not return to regular activity until symptoms have improved for 24 hours. Find PCR testing options at Minnesota COVID-19 Response (mn.gov/covid19). If you have questions about your symptoms, contact a doctor or health care provider.
