To be totally honest, Braille instructions wouldn’t be terribly helpful. The print instructions are fine for all of us that know how to use a smart phone; although a QR code that links to a screen reader friendly set of web instructions would be pretty cool. It’s literally telling the results (in an at home test) that is the issue. Before at home tests, Covid testing in my city was done entirely by drive through pharmacies. As you noted, blind people don’t drive and walk up service is denied. Additionally, when I did have Covid, I was in no shape to be walking to the pharmacy even if they would have tested me. Thankfully I was able to avoid the illness until after at home tests were available and still have just enough useful vision to read them. We have apps that can contact a volunteer to read these for us, but especially in the case of pregnancy test, some things you don’t want to share with others so a tactile way to get the results would be ideal.
