Washington state's at-home COVID-19 tests out of stock shortly after website launch

SEATTLE — Less than a day after the Washington State Department of Health launched a website where residents could order free, rapid coronavirus tests to be sent to their homes, those tests were out of stock.

The state said its inventory of testing kits ran out around 6 p.m. Friday.

“We expect more tests will be available soon. Please watch our social media channels for updates,” the department website said Saturday. The state does not have an exact date when tests will be restocked, blaming “national supply chain demands.” Residents can check back for test availability at sayyescovidhometest.org.
