"Expanded Free At-Home COVID Testing Program Supported by White House and USPS"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNET
The US Postal Service (USPS) will resume shipping free COVID-19 test kits to households across the country with the support of a $600 million investment from the White House. The program, which previously delivered four rounds of tests, was halted due to a lack of tests and funding but has now restarted as COVID cases continue to rise. Ordering the tests is simple and can be done online or via phone, and the kits are typically delivered within one to three days. In addition to the USPS program, there are other avenues for free COVID-19 testing, such as HRSA health centers, Test to Treat locations, and ICATT testing sites. Free COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots are also available through various programs, including the Bridge Access Program and partnerships with retail pharmacy locations.
