WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans can once again order COVID-19 tests, without being charged, sent straight to their homes.
The U.S. government reopened the program on Thursday, allowing any household to order up to four at-home COVID nasal swab kits through the website, covidtests.gov. The tests will begin shipping, via the United States Postal Service, as soon as next week.
“Before you visit with your family and friends this holiday season, take a quick test and help keep them safe from COVID-19," Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Dawn O’Connell said in a statement.
