​Report your COVID-19 home test result (positive or negative)

At-home COVID-19 tests allow us to easily find out whether we’re infected with the COVID-19 virus. Sharing your test result can help the people who work to keep us safe from this disease determine how fast the virus is spreading, or where surges are happening.

Share your positive or negative test result at https://makemytestcount.org/

The data from MakeMyTestCount helps public health teams track virus spread while keeping your personal test results private and anonymous.
