Biden administration announces $600M to produce COVID tests and will reopen website to order them

Patrick Sison

The Department of Health and Human Services says orders can be placed at COVIDTests.gov starting Sept. 25, and that no-cost tests will be delivered for free by the United States Postal Service.
