The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) has updated its guidance on COVID-19 testing. Confirmatory PCR tests are no longer required for antigen tests performed in a clinical setting. Either a PCR or an antigen test result performed in a clinical setting will suffice for testing for COVID-19 for both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals. 

This does not apply to anyone who lives in a congregate setting, such as long-term care facilities, correctional and detention facilities, homeless shelters and other group shelters. These congregate settings should still follow CDC’s outlined protocols for antigen testing.
