Free COVID-19 Tests Available Again Through U.S. Government

Americans can now order four free at-home COVID-19 test kits per household as part of a renewed federal program.

The U.S. government has reopened its program to distribute free COVID-19 tests to households via covidtests.gov.
Each household can order up to four at-home nasal swab kits, which will be shipped by the U.S. Postal Service starting next week.
The initiative aims to curb the spread of COVID-19 during the fall and winter respiratory virus season, especially ahead of holiday gatherings.
Tests can detect current COVID-19 variants, and users are advised to check the FDA website for updated expiration dates.
Health officials encourage Americans to use these tests before family visits and to stay updated on COVID-19 and flu vaccinations.
