Public health officials recommend COVID-19 testing if you have symptoms or exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people who were positive for COVID-19 in the last three months and recovered do not have to be tested, unless they develop new symptoms.
The CDC also recently recommended self tests for those gathering with other households, especially unvaccinated children, older adults, immunocompromised people, or individuals at risk of severe disease. Antigen tests may be conducted at home with results in about 15 minutes and a virtual component so test results can be provided to VDH.

A positive self-test means an individual should stay home or isolate for 10 days, wear a mask, contact a healthcare provider, and contact close contacts who may have been exposed. A negative result may mean there may not be an infection, but repeating the test with at least 24 hours in between will increase the likelihood the individual isn't infected.
