John,
With the rapid spread of Omicron, at-home COVID-19 testing can be a powerful
tool for protecting yourself, your family, and the people you come into contact
with.
But there are questions about how to approach testing with Omicron:
⌚ When is the best time to test if I've been exposed to COVID-19?
<[link removed]>
😷 Can I transmit Omicron before testing positive?
<[link removed]>
👃 Should I be swabbing my throat or my nose (or both) to get the best results?
<[link removed]>
🤒 If I have symptoms but haven't tested positive, should I assume I have
COVID-19? <[link removed]>
To get some answers, we asked Dr. Gigi Gronvall, senior scholar at the Johns
Hopkins Center for Health Security, to share her expertise.
In our latest Road to Recovery, she takes less than two minutes to tell us
what we need to know about rapid tests and Omicron.

While it's clear that vaccines and boosters can reduce the risk of severe
cases, Omicron is highly transmissible. Knowing when and how to detect COVID-19
can help prevent exposures and slow the spread.
Make sure you're following expert guidance. Watch our Road to Recovery and
