Elizabeth86 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Does anyone know if cold weather affects covid tests? The last batch got left in my van for a quite a while during cold temperatures. Should I keep or toss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data: Stability of the COVID-19 At-Home Test after Exposure to Extreme Temperatures Oh thank you for this!! It contradicts most of the articles I've read with various people quoted, but if I've learned one thing in this pandemic, it's that one really needs to look at what the actual data is saying and not trust just any random doctor quoted on a news website. What's interesting is that in looking again, I am finding some news sources with accurate information similar to what the study above found, that were published at the same time as the ones saying not to use them (they were all published during an early Feb 2022 cold snap across the country). I'm glad you chimed in as I hadn't seen that newer study. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
