As the country faces a rise in COVID, flu and RSV, an FDA-authorized testing kit promises one swab for all three viruses. The kit is available for use by individuals age 2 and older, without the need for a prescription, according to the press release.
. The test also has no out-of-pocket cost for those with insurance and who meet the criteria in the questionnaire.Similar tests are available from urgent care and other health care providers and you can get your results quicker. Quick results may be more useful because if you are positive for COVID-19 or the flu, treatments like Paxlovid or Tamiflu have to be taken within a few days after symptoms appear.
"If you're high risk, then you might be a candidate for interventions, for example, like Paxlovid," Sutton said.
