Free COVID tests by mail are back, starting Monday

The Biden administration is whirring the COVIDtests.gov website back to life.

Starting Monday, September 25, the federal government will send up to four free COVID-19 rapid tests per household to anyone who requests them.

This announcement comes with a recognition that COVID hospitalizations in the U.S. peaked in January for the past three years running and that testing is an important component of minimizing the spread of the infection.
