When you log in after taking a COVID test, the Safer Community App identifies whether there has been a change in status.  In this example, this person received a Negative COVID Test result.

Click ‘See Next Steps’ at the bottom of your screen to view additional guidance.

Based on your testing result, additional guidance will be offered.  With this example, the result was negative. The result can be one of the following:

• Negative

• Positive

• Invalid (meaning your sample was not a ‘good sample’ and unable to yield a result)

• Inconclusive (meaning the lab was unable to measure a result)

• Rejected (meaning your sample could not be run by the lab)

From the app homepage, you can click ‘View Health History’ to see a summary of all of your recent COVID Test history (PCR saliva tests only). 

A history of your PCR saliva COVID tests is displayed. In this example, one test has been performed.
