I thought I read on here that there was a monitored self test that could be used for entry to Puerto Rico returning home. Does anyone have info on brands and where to purchase? G

I haven't used it myself, but the virtually guided test from eMed is supposed to be approved.

We will be using the test on the 30th leaving from EIS to SJU/PHL. It’s the Abbott Binax Now test kit that uses the NAVICA app to monitor you while taking the test. This is not the test available in drug stores it must be purchased thru eMed. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Are multiple people able to use the tests in that box just as long as they set up the NAVICA app on their individual phones and go through the process individually?

I did one of these as a dry run in early May. It was rejected by the USVI Portal. I called and was told it was not an approved CLIA Lab. This may have changed since then but like Jason said...1 box of 6 per person. If I remember correctly it was $150 for the box. It is a prescription test and they check.

I, somewhat naively I guess, assumed if you buy a box of 6 that surely there is a way for more than 1 person to use the 6 test kits. So we'll probably head to JVD so that the two of us that tested negative on the antibody test can get a PCR.
