“When to get the rapid Covid-19 test when coming back from holiday tomorrow?”
My boyfriend is coming home, by plane, tomorrow to Florida after visiting family for 10 days in Colorado. When should he get the rapid covid-19 test done when he gets back? I am concerned because I have elderly parents, ages 86 and 80.

He should be quarantined for 10 days. A Covid test is only good at seven and 10 days to be negative for him to come out of quarantine. You and him should wear a mask when he’s around anybody and distance during this period of time. He should definitely stay away from anybody who is at risk for severe disease.
Thanks for the question! The best time to test is 5 to 7 days after the last potential exposure. Meanwhile, quarantine!
