- State-supplied home tests are for use as part of an early warning (screening) system to detect the presence of COVID-19 and prevent transmission/outbreaks.
- Flowflex testing is not meant to be used to satisfy Executive Order 253 or as a sole testing technology.
- Please follow all instructions for proper use.
- Always contact your health care provider if you are ill or experiencing any symptoms.
- Persons who test positive for COVID-19 on a home/self-test should notify their healthcare provider (or LHD if they don’t have a healthcare provider) if they are concerned about their health or have questions on what they should do to protect those around them. Most importantly, immediately isolate away from others, notify close contacts and, if applicable, notify their worksite, school, or daycare so that precautions can be taken. Information on what to do after testing positive is available on the NJDOH COVID-19 website and the COVID-19 Information Hub.
