They have simple at home tests you can get at walgreens and walmart for like $14. They are not as accurate as the lab ones, but everything I’ve read seems to indicate they are pretty good, especially at detecting a viral load that would allow you to spread it. So a lab test may detect tiny amounts of virus that the home test wont, but you probably can’t infect anyone with such a small viral load.

Pretty sure they use the same type of test for the flu because I’ve had those rapid tests done at walk in clinics for the flu.
