The Federal Government is again offering delivery of free, at-home COVID-19 test kits as of Monday, November 20, due to anticipated upticks in illness after holiday gatherings. Officials re-allocated some funds to purchase more tests. Those who are interested can obtain four more tests and refer to the 5 steps on how to place their orders, and then fill out and submit the online order form. If you did not order any this fall, you can place two orders for a total of eight tests. Residents who need help placing an order for at-home tests can call 1-800-232-0233 or 1-888-720-7489 (TTY). Also, be sure to check any "expired" tests you have before throwing out. Some test expiration dates have expanded. Check tests here: bit.ly/3tdUBfU.
The U.S. government will continue to make COVID-19 tests available to uninsured individuals and underserved communities through existing outreach programs. Please contact a HRSA health center, Test to Treat site, or ICATT location near you to learn how to access free or low-cost COVID-19 tests provided by the federal government.
