Proctored Covid-19 tests expiration dates

[Gypsywych]

 

The Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 tests that Carnival links to in their FAQ's currently all have an expiration date of December 6 , 2021. 

Is there any word or news on when new tests with later expiration dates will be coming out?

Well - not all expire Dec 6th - but in that general timeframe yes - Mine expire (with the extension) January 8th. 

One person on CC contact eMed and they stated new product would be available in November.

Did you check your Lot # against the list which shows the actual expiration date with the extension?

Thanks.  That gives me hope and a better time frame.

I haven't purchased them yet, we do not cruise until February.  😊 Getting close to our 90 days out mark, and the Rapid Antigen testing sites around here are being very unreliable with a lack of testing materials and having to cancel on short notice.
