Here’s how to obtain free, at-home rapid COVID-19 tests from the federal government:
Ordering Process: Americans can order a test online now at COVIDTests.gov. To ensure broad access, the program will limit the number of tests sent to each residential address to four. Tests will usually ship within 7-12 days of ordering.
Distribution and Delivery Process: The Administration will partner with the United States Postal Service to package and deliver tests to Americans that want them. All orders in the continental United States will be sent through First-Class Package Service.
There may be unforeseen delays because of supply chain issues. WCRIS is aware that some schools are having issues acquiring tests.
