My 2 day Covid test window starts tomorrow. Can I test tonight after midnight?

[cram33]

Wondering, if the date stamp is 8/2, will tonight after 12am be ok to test since I have a busy schedule tomorrow.  Has anyone done this?

Time of day doesn't matter.

If your sailing is on a Sunday, when is the best time to schedule your test?... A proctor and/Pharmacy?

We've always used eMed tests which don't require an appointment.  Just sign on, follow instructions,  test.

If you sail on Sunday, either Fri, Sat, or Sun a.m.

If you sail on Sunday you can test anytime starting 12:01am on Friday.

 

We also use the Emed proctored tests so we usually do ours very early on Friday morning before we drive to Florida…

Thanks all.  I have a Quest appointment scheduled as a backup too. You never know.  Hopefully I'll be canceling it.

Good luck, hope you have an uncomplicated testing experience and a "negative" outcome.

As long as the company you are using to proctor prints the right date on your report. If they are in a different time zone and print the prior day, the test is invalid. 

[Surfguyxxx]

Most definitely.  Good luck!

Slightly different question on testing having never used the NAVICA app before. Can I use the same phone/app for me and my wife? 

[cram33]

So last night I found out I was mistaken and the home test sample was to be mailed to the lab. Glad I had this backup plan, as I sit in the waiting room for my test.

Don't usually do that.  We each have our own account.  We use our computers and the eMed website.  The Navica app has all my results.

Yes, you just need to logout and login with the different credentials between sessions.

Thanks my friend. I put both my wife and I on the same NACICA account and on the eMed website there is a drop down menu that lets me select the person getting the test.

Thanks for the info.

Navica gives you a QR code.  Emed sends an email.  We prefer using printed results since web access when you check in can be spotty.  Have seen a lot of folks trying to call up 6 or 8 tests on their phone and delaying the whole line.
