Preventing asymptomatic spread means that healthy people should get tested more often. So who should take a test?

The assets in this section can be used in connection with specific testing drives, or as free-standing educational messages to generate greater awareness about high-risk environments and groups, and their increased need for routine testing. We asked artists to illustrate the many situations that put some Americans at higher risk, resulting in unique, engaging and positive images that speak to different communities and visual cultures. Use these materials to help your communities understand who should seek a test.
