Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the self-administration of the COVID-19 test.

Why is my mobile phone number required?
Results are sent via mobile text message, which is the most secure, convenient and expedient way to deliver them.

Do I need to be symptomatic to get a test?
Many people that are infected with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, so you do not need to have symptoms to be tested for COVID-19.

We are growing pharmacies rapidly. Please check back to myrx.io and insert your zip code to see if there are any appointments near you. Also check https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/find-test-site-nearyou

What should I bring for my COVID-19 test?
Bring a valid photo ID and your mobile device with your myrx.io test page open.

What should I do when I get there?
Wear a mask, follow the signs for testing, and check myrx.io for any additional instructions. The process will take about 20 minutes.

What will the test tell me?
The test detects if you have the virus at the time of the test. It does not detect immunity or whether you had the virus in the past. Therefore, you should continue to remain cautious even if your result is negative because infection is still possible.

What will happen at my appointment?
Please read instructions specific to your pharmacy. Follow signs for testing (this is likely outside). Your test requires a nasal swab. Depending on location, pharmacy staff will either collect the nasal swab themselves, or you will self-collect the nasal swab under the observation of pharmacy staff. During collection, please leave your mask on and just pull it down to expose the nose. See link for instructions on how to collect a nasal swab: Abbott BinaxNOW How to Collect Nasal Specimen Instruction.pdf

Can I bring anyone to my appointment?
Please try not to bring anyone to the appointment who is not being tested through this program, especially if they are feeling unwell. The exception would be for those who require a means of transportation for accessibility reasons.

How will I get my results?
You will receive a secure text message that directs you to a secure page on myrx.io containing your test results.

If you test positive: 

• The virus was detected in your sample and it is quite likely you have COVID-19
• You should self-isolate to avoid spreading the virus to others.
• You should engage your primary care provider for treatment and follow-up.

If you test negative: 

• The virus that causes COVID-19 was not found in your sample.
• A negative diagnostic test means you were not infectious AT THE TIME OF YOUR TEST. You could have a negative diagnostic test today, then become infectious and have a positive diagnostic test tomorrow.

Please call your pharmacist or primary care provider. If you took an Antigen test (the rapid/same day test), please contact your pharmacy directly if you have not received a result in a timely manner.

I have a positive result who do I contact?
