Under CDC and state guidelines, local health departments should be notified if someone tests positive, said Derek Sands, communications director for Bergen County. How do you report your results when taking an at-home that didn’t require the help of a doctor or a lab, such as a rapid antigen test? That’s when things start to become a little less clear. Clinicians should then report these positive results to the local health department for the results to get officially counted. Home-based tests that involved health care oversight with a monitored Zoom call or that are sent to a laboratory are reported to public health authorities whether they are positive or negative. But what's the responsible thing when it comes to reporting the results? You should quarantine, of course, and notify close contacts. You’ve just taken a home testing kit and have tested positive for COVID-19.
