COVID-19 Update: How to Order a Free At-Home Test

The U.S. Postal Service is now taking orders for free COVID-19 at-home tests. The federal government is offering American households four free rapid antigen tests via mail, which can be ordered online at COVIDtests.gov. Orders will ship free starting in late January, usually in 7-12 days. Learn more at: covidtests.gov/faq
