SUMMARY: The federal government is distributing its seventh round of free rapid antigen COVID tests, which have been circulating for about a month. If you have an expired test at home, you may not need to discard it immediately. The FDA suggests checking their website for possible expiration date extensions, as the listed date indicates when the test is expected to function accurately. This advice has been prompted by reports of tests approaching their expiration dates, reminding users that they may still be valid beyond that point.

The FDA is encouraging people to check its website for extensions.
