It doesn’t seem as if this is being well publicized so I thought I’d pass it along:
People in the U.S. can now order up to four additional free, at-home rapid COVID-19 tests from the government. The Biden administration announced the program to provide people in the U.S. with free COVID-19 tests in December amid the Omicron surge, and the first batch of tests started going out to people in January.
- The tests can be ordered at COVIDtests.gov.
“Starting this week, every home in the U.S. will be able to order an additional set of 4 tests,” an update to the website’s frequently asked questions page states.
- The U.S. Postal Service announced last week that it has delivered 68 million free COVID-19 test kit packages — with 4 tests per package — since the tests began being shipped out in January.
I ordered mine and it was just as easy as the first time. It’s not a bad idea to have these in stock. We just don’t know when we’re going to need them.
