FDA extended expiration dates of some at-home COVID-19 tests

There is a chance that the dates on COVID-19 home test kits that say when they expire are not completely correct.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that it has decided to extend the expiration dates of some tests because it has new evidence that the products still work.

When it comes to expiry dates, various companies have varying policies.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the tests that the federal government distributed to individuals this year had a shelf life of twelve months.

On its website, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides a list of at-home tests that have been given approval, along with up-to-date expiry dates.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises that individuals should not continue to utilize COVID-19 tests beyond the amended expiry date. According to the officials, it is possible that the findings of such tests are not reliable.

As a college student, making an extra buck now and then was very important. I started as a part-time reporter since I was 19 yo, and I couldn’t believe it might become a long-time career. I'm happy to be part of the Virginian Tribune's team.
