At-Home COVID Tests Available for Free Again This Winter

The Biden administration is making rapid COVID tests available for free again this winter through a limited round of ordering. Households can now order a total of four rapid Covid tests for free at CovidTests.gov. Orders will start shipping this week, just days before families gather for the Christmas holiday, and deliveries will continue in the following weeks, according to the White House. The relaunch of the free at-home test program is part of the Biden administration’s preparedness plan for COVID this winter. COVID infections are increasing again as hospital emergency departments are already battling a surge of patients sick with the flu and respiratory syncytial virus. See more from CNBC here.
