(Washington, D.C.) Starting Today, the federal government will send up to four COVID-19 tests to any American household that wants them.
The plan, announced by the White House last week, will send 500 million at-home COVID-19 test kits to Americans for free.
The website https://special.usps.com/testkits has launched, and tests can be ordered online now. Tests will usually ship within 7-12 days of ordering.
No identification, credit card or health insurance information is required; you just need to include your name and a street address.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the website COVIDtests.gov is in the “beta phase right now,” and that the administration “can’t guarantee there won’t be a bug or two, but the best tech teams across the administration and the Postal Service are working hard to make this a success.”
If you want to track your request for the tests, you can add an email address to get updates on your tests
These tests will be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service to your mailbox. Tests will typically ship within seven to 12 days of ordering.
