Free COVID Tests: Online Ordering Now Available


#17,693
Last week, in U.S. Govt To Provide A New Round of Free COVID Home Test Kits Next Week, we looked at the announcement that free COVID test kits would be made available starting this week.
While many of these tests are marked with an `expired' use-by date, these tests have been granted an extension by the FDA and should be good through at least the end of the year.
The website where you can order these kits is now live (as of 9/25), and it only takes a minute to complete. Tests should begin shipping next week.
