My company has 4 high-value employees who unfortunately need to be in multiple locations during a week in January.   We will be taking many precautions . . . and I am wondering if anyone on this board knows of any portable COVID tests they can take with them and test daily?   Or is it better to try to line up local testing a few times during that week?

The FDA did grant EUA to a home test kit:

The EUA says "The Lucira COVID-19 All-In-One Test Kit test has been authorized for home use with self-collected nasal swab samples in individuals age 14 and older who are suspected of COVID-19 by their health care provider."

So, technically, it shouldn't be used for screening.  But you can probably find a health care provider who considers high risk travel enough of a reason to prescribe it.
