Almost all states are counting rapid tests

Nevada last week became one of the last states to publicly report rapid antigen tests as part of its coronavirus tallies — a move that experts said could provide a fuller picture of the pandemic but upend metrics used to gauge how the virus is spreading.

The change leaves Maryland as the lone U.S. state that doesn’t incorporate rapid tests in its online dashboard or include them in statistics about the coronavirus pandemic, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends, according to an Associated Press review of dashboards and policies for all 50 states.
