Today: How to Order Free COVID Tests and Stay Prepared This Fall
Today’s Free COVID Tests Availability
Today, Americans can access another round of free COVID tests through COVIDTests.gov. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that households can order four free COVID-19 tests soon to detect current variants. This initiative, amidst a declining but significant COVID-19 presence, reinforces safety as families gather this fall.
How to Order the Free Tests
To place an order, visit COVIDTests.gov before the end of September. Each household qualifies for one order of four tests, which will be required throughout the rest of the year. The previous program successfully shipped over 900 million tests to U.S. households.
Testing Guidelines
- Take a test if displaying symptoms such as cough, fever, or fatigue.
- Consider testing before gatherings with high-risk individuals.
- Utilize precautions and tools like ventilation and masks.
