The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the expiration date for nearly 1 million COVID-19 rapid tests that expired in a Florida warehouse at the end of December.

The shelf life of the expired COVID-19 rapid test kits, manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, has been pushed back three months to March, after expiring late last month.
