3) but we need to also #BringBackMasks too. Testing not enough alone. Vaccine not enough alone. Ventilation and disinfection needed too. But we need N95 preferably or KN95 masks minimum.

5) Some folks asking about expiration dates — my sources say many of the tests are from old stockpile while some of the tests are from new procurement. New tests have 2 year shelf life, but old tests probably have shorter. Check the dates of all test kits when using. Still great.

6) Reminder to swab carefully and diligently of all 3: throat, cheeks, and nose to maximize detection. See thread 👇

Swabbing correctly for #COVID19? Most are not. @IamKGB tests— 1) VERY POS—back of throat, cheeks, roof of mouth & both nasopharyngeal w swab held in place for 10s. 2) NEG—outside portion of nostrils 3) NEG—anterior nares/nasal septum 4) FAINT POS—throat & cheeks 5) Repeated #1
