Americans now have the opportunity to order COVID-19 tests at no cost, delivered directly to their homes. The U.S. government has relaunched the program, allowing households to request up to four at-home COVID nasal swab kits through the website covidtests.gov. These tests are set to be shipped via the United States Postal Service starting next week.
This initiative comes amidst a resurgence of COVID-19 cases during the summer and as the country approaches the fall and winter respiratory virus season. Health officials are advising individuals to get their updated COVID-19 booster shots and annual flu vaccines to stay protected.
