Be Aware of New Home Test Kits for Flu, COVID-19, and Strep A
February 2023
Patients can now test at home for COVID-19, flu, and strep throat with a single diagnostic kit.
COVID-19 symptoms can be similar to flu or strep throat. These new combo self-tests can help symptomatic patients narrow down which illness they may have...and be referred promptly for treatment if needed.
Consider these tests for a timely evaluation of flu or COVID-19 in patients who are eligible for treatment (immunocompromised, over age 65, etc)...or who want to avoid the ED or prescriber’s office.
