I’ve had a bad cold and tested for COVID just to be on the safe side. (Tested negative. 😺) Anyway, afterward I noticed the test expiration date (oops, expired!) and then looked online for more information. I found the page linked below that leads to extended expiration date information for the various brands of tests. Hope this is helpful to everybody with a stockpile of test kits.
