I hope they don’t give out expired tests again. The last batch of tests I received early this year were all expired.
Most tests had their expiration dates extended.
Only time I got them, it took two weeks to arrive (making it useless to test if you think you had symptoms), and expired in a month (making it almost useless to keep on hand ‘just in case’).
For the specific use case of going on a pre-planned trip and making sure you’re healthy just before leaving? Great. But that’s now how the program was presented to the end users.
What? Ever since they were widely available and free, the idea is to keep a supply of them at the ready so you can test any time you’re feeling symptomatic.
If they’re about to expire that kind of defeats the purpose of having them ready tho
