Are positive point of care rapid test results (example SOFIA) reportable in your state? Yes (although we know we don’t get all results and we don’t have a great mechanism for the small, non-lab reporters) Are negative point of care rapid test results reportable in your state? Yes (but see above) Do you use point of care rapid test results in your calculation of Percent positive COVID tests No. Only confirmed (and we know we only get a fraction of POCT results reported – and a higher percentage of positive POCT results get reported than negative)

Yes, anyone with knowledge of a suspected or confirmed reportable disease is required to immediately (defined as within 24 hours for most diseases) to notify the local health officer. Are negative point of care rapid test results reportable in your state? Yes, though we don’t have a great mechanism to get them if they aren’t linked up to ELR. Do you use point of care rapid test results in your calculation of Percent positive COVID tests. If they are reporting via elr or another digital means, then yes.
