COVID-19 testing provides information regarding exposure and transmission risks, guides preventative measures (e.g., if when to start end isolation quarantine), identifies opportunities for appropriate treatments, helps assess disease prevalence (1). At-home rapid antigen tests (at-home tests) are a convenient accessible alternative laboratory-based diagnostic nucleic acid amplification (NAATs) SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes (2-4). With emergence of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) B.1.1.529...
