Before you throw out “expired" tests

• Most at-home tests can be safely used past the date on the box. Check the test kit to see if the expiration dates have been extended on the FDA's At-Home COVID-19 Test page.

• Replace your tests with fresh ones as the extended expiration dates approach. If you have to, you can use expired tests until you can get new ones, as long as the control line is working. See your test instructions for details about the control line.
