Order free Covid tests

Households across the country can order four additional over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for free again. The Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has reopened COVIDtests.gov, in collaboration with the U.S. Postal Service. These tests are intended for use throughout the 2024 holiday season to detect currently circulating COVID-19 variants.

As the fall and holiday seasons will create increased close proximity gatherings of people, the government remains committed to helping Americans access tests to help so that, if they develop a respiratory illness, they can learn whether it is due to Covid-19 and make the best choices about seeking medical care and reducing risks to family, friends, and co-workers. To order four free, over-the-counter COVID-19 tests, visit https://covidtests.gov./
