Public Can Order Free COVID Tests

September 22nd, 2023 by WCBC Radio

The Biden administration announced this week $600 million in funding for new at-home COVID-19 tests to be produced.  Twelve companies will produce about 200 million tests for the federal stockpile, plus more that the public will once again be able to order online.  Starting September 25, orders can be placed through COVIDTests.gov for up to four tests per household and will be delivered free of charge through the US Postal Service. The tests being produced will be able to detect the latest circulating variants of the virus.
