COVID-19 Testing

At Lummi Public Health we’re noticing that it can sometimes take several days before an at home rapid COVID test is positive for people who are infected with the current type of COVID variant. If you are feeling sick with symptoms of COVID but have a negative test at home, please continue isolating and take another rapid test every 24 hours until you start feeling better. If your symptoms are getting worse or you still aren’t feeling better after 2 days, contact your doctor to get evaluated for other illnesses. This link has more information about “false negative” rapid COVID tests.
