For anyone else in NJ the DIY test kits that you mail in have an extra

Is that because the results are mailed into the state for some sort of
record-keeping. *What if you have a friend over the border in NY or PA
mail the results in for you?G


The Czars in charge of licensing in NJ charge labs for the number of
tests they do per year. The more tests you do per year the more you
have to pay the state for your license.

I had my results mailed to a PA relative.
