In light of this Guidance, Maine CDC is adopting a temporary policy to allow the use of expired but functional COVID-19 rapid antigen tests to allow Maine to continue its focus on alleviating the impact of COVID-19. This temporary policy applies only to rapid antigen tests, not to other testing supplies. This temporary policy will be in place until further notice.
Facilities in possession of rapid antigen tests may continue to use those tests after the expiration date, consistent with the CMS Guidance. Such tests should be used in accordance with their authorized instructions for use.
