This time, they\u2019ll have an expanded array of tools to get an answer without leaving the house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There are now nine at-home tests that can detect the coronavirus and influenza at the same time. Many of the tests, which can be sold over the counter, were just approved in the last six months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s really a big shift in what\u2019s available,\u201d said Dr. Gregory Martin, a professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Food and Drug Administration approved most of the Covid-and-flu combination tests under emergency protocols in 2023 and 2024. Earlier this month, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/press-announcements\/fda-authorizes-marketing-first-home-flu-and-covid-19-combination-test-outside-emergency-use\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">agency also authorized<\/a> the first of these combination tests, made by the health care equipment company Healgen, under its traditional, more rigorous approval process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The combination tests look and work a lot like traditional at-home Covid tests: They\u2019re easy to use and fast, often delivering results within 15 minutes. Most are only slightly more expensive than regular Covid tests, usually hovering around $30 for a pack of two, though they may not be covered by insurance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Doctors say the combination tests could be vital as we head into colder months and peak virus season \u2014 but only if more people know to use them, or that the tests exist at all.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1336jj\">\n<div class=\"css-121kum4\">\n<div class=\"css-asuuk5\"><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-7axq9l\" data-testid=\"optimistic-truncator-noscript\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"css-1b5b8u1\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M2.5 12a9.5 9.5 0 1 1 19 0 9.5 9.5 0 0 1-19 0Zm8.5 1.75v-7.5h2v7.5h-2Zm0 2v2h2v-2h-2Z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"optimistic-truncator-noscript-message\" class=\"css-6yo1no\">\n<p class=\"css-3kpklk\">We are having trouble retrieving the article content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-3kpklk\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\" id=\"optimistic-truncator-a11y\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<hr\/>\n<p>Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
