I am trying to submit an online COVID test and it is asking for a Safari browser. I already have Safari but it may need an updated version. How do I do that?

I am trying to submit an online COVID test and they are asking for me to use a Safari browser. I already have Safari on my computer but it may need a newer version. How do I do that?

Safari versions are tied to the underlying OS version you're running - update your OS and you automatically get the associated Safari update.


If your system is old and cannot be upgraded to the latest OS version then you may be at the highest/latest version compatible with your system and you may have no option to upgrade either the OS or the Safari version.


You may find the site works with other browsers such as Chrome, which may have later versions compatible with older OS versions.
