Hello.
Many labs have the facility of collecting RTPCR sample from home. You can contact any nearby lab for the same.
Rapid antigen test can be done on your own at your home without any lab assistance. Look for 'Coviself kit' by 'MyLabs' online.
However, do know that rapid antigen tests are much less sensitive and reliable than RTPCR. Always prefer RTPCR.
