  • November 23, 2022 / 2:20 PM / CBS News Americans now have a way to anonymously report their at-home COVID-19 test results to health authorities: a new website from the National Institutes of Health, announced this week.
  • Officials hope results collected through the new site — makemytestcount.org — will fill some of the gap in data left after many people turned to in-home COVID-19 testing rather than the lab tests authorities had closely watched earlier in the pandemic.
  • And Tromberg, who also heads the NIH's RADx program that spearheaded the website's development, says the effort could be a key step in making it easier for doctors to get their patients tested and treated for infectious diseases.
  • It's part of the arc of moving testing from laboratories to the home, and creating a highway that allows for the reliable and accurate transmission of that information," Tromberg said in an interview with CBS News.
