New @CDCMMWR shows COVID-19 antigen tests can be fast and inexpensive but sometimes require a second test to confirm the result. Protect others until your test result is confirmed. Learn more: bit.ly/MMWR123120. Image
HCPs: A recent @CDCMMWR found that antigen tests were less accurate than RT-PCR tests in correctly identifying people with #COVID19. Learn more: bit.ly/MMWR123120. Image
However, the report also shows that people with no symptoms with negative antigen test results are unlikely to have COVID-19 and generally do not require further testing. Image

Breaking: CDC’s recommendation on use of cloth face coverings, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission of #COVID19. Read more: bit.ly/2Ravt42
Recent studies show that a significant portion of individuals with #COVID19 lack symptoms (“asymptomatic”) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (“pre-symptomatic”) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms.
In light of new evidence, CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings to slow spread of #COVID19 in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores & pharmacies) esp. in areas of significant community-based transmission.
