Free Covid test kits now available
Thursday, January 20, 2022 by Tai Moses
As you may have heard, the Biden administration is sending free Covid-19 test kits to the American public. Each household is eligible for one order of four rapid tests. You can order the test kits through the Postal Service or CovidTests.gov. Shipments go out later this month and areas of the country that are experiencing high rates of Covid will be prioritized. The administration is also solidifying plans to partner with pharmacies around the U.S. to distribute 400 million N95 face masks free, to anyone who needs them. Stay tuned for more details.
