At Home Covid test expiration dates extended (again!)

[GJustice]

SOME of the tests have had their expiration dates extended. Lots of details to dig through, but maybe good news for some folks.

Not really good news.  It is only a test.  If you use it, and positive, than most likely you have it, even past the expiration date.  The only reason this might be good news is that it makes people feel better.

Thx for the link.  The extension allows me to use the free iHealth tests from the govt with a proctored online agency ($20) for the required Covid testing to cruise in Aug, Sept, and Oct.

Has nothing to do with testing positive or negative. It's good news in the sense that you don't have to purchase new ones. Many people purchased multiple tests and this extends the time they can use them on future cruises,

Thanks so much!!!!  Will be taking a 'Proctored' test in a few weeks and the tests that would then be expired have now been resurrected!
