Increased Availability of Free COVID-19 Tests for Holiday Season

Americans can now order four additional free COVID-19 tests as health officials anticipate a resurgence in cases. The U.S. Postal Service will ship the tests for free starting the week of November 27. Households that did not order their first batch of tests can now place two orders, totaling eight free rapid antigen COVID-19 tests. Federal health officials are urging Americans to continue using COVID-19 tests, along with vaccinations and masking, to reduce the spread of the virus during the holiday season. The tests can also help determine if Pfizer's Paxlovid treatment is necessary.
