Federal government starts free Covid-19 test delivery to homes

Posted

Households can now order up to four free at-home Covid-19 tests through covidtests.gov. 

The Biden administration announced January 14 it was buying one billion at-home, rapid Covid-19 tests to give to U.S. residents for free. The announcement said a half-billion tests would be available for order starting January 19 via the government website, Covidtests.gov. The website was quietly launched January 18.

People can input their name and mailing address on the website and four tests will be delivered to their residence. The program limits four tests per household.

Tests will be shipped within seven to 12 days after ordering, according to the website. 

A call line is also expected to become available for those unable to access the website.
