Worried You Have COVID? Don’t Use THIS Test!
We are three full weeks into 2022, and COVID-19 is still alive and well.
And while there are signs of the latest surge of the virus beginning to slow down, it’s still important for everyone to take steps to stay safe, boost immunity, and slow the spread.
But there’s another key factor in the fight against COVID…
Knowing IF you have COVID-19 especially if you’re been exposed or are experiencing symptoms!
And that means being tested… ACCURATELY!
After all, an accurate and reliable COVID-19 test means you can confidently take the proper steps to either quarantine (if you test positive), or continue with your daily life (if you test negative).
But unfortunately, not every test these days is providing the most accurate results… and now The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning folks to steer clear of one specific COVID-19 test for that very reason!
Here’s everything you need to know.
According to a recent press release, the FDA is advising folks to stop using the LuSys Laboratories COVID-19 Antigen Test (Nasal/Saliva) and the LuSys Laboratories COVID-19 IgG/IgM Antibody Test.

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
The FDA believes there is likely a high risk of false results when using these tests as neither test has been authorized, cleared, or approved by the FDA for distribution or use in the United States.
A comprehensive breakdown of the warning by the FDA regarding these specific tests can be found here.
The FDA did note that if you do own either of these tests – and have used them recently – to speak with your doctor about your test results, and whether or not you should be retested.
In the meantime, if you do need to get tested for COVID-19, your best bet is to go to testing sites run by your state’s health board. This will ensure high-quality, and highly-accurate results.
Now, many state-run testing sites are experiencing long wait times for COVID tests, but there are plenty of high-quality COVID-19 self-tests than you can use in the comfort of your own home. Many of these tests provide accurate results in just 15 minutes.
If you have questions – or need a recommendation – about the best test to use, talk with your doctor.
The federal government also rolled out a new service run by the USPS that will send you free at-home COVID tests. With just a few clicks, you can get these tests delivered straight to your door.
