What is a pooled test?
A pooled test combines lower nasal swab samples from several people and tests them together. A pooled test shows whether anyone in the pool is infected with COVID-19, but it does not show specifically who is infected.

Why should I participate?
Getting tested after your flight will help the CDC detect COVID-19 variants. Participation is completely voluntary but important in helping us combat the spread of COVID-19.
