If you don’t have symptoms and cannot access a rapid antigen test, then monitor for symptoms and get tested if symptoms emerge.
If you are symptomatic, you must use a rapid antigen test, or get a PCR test if you can’t access a rapid antigen test. COVID-19 symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath and loss or change in sense of smell or taste.
