The COVIDtests.gov website is being brought back to life by the Biden administration.
Beginning on Monday, September 25, everyone who wants them will receive a maximum of 4 free COVID-19 quick tests per home.
This declaration is made with the knowledge that testing is crucial to reducing the transmission of the virus and that COVID-19 hospitalizations in the U.S. surged in January for the last 3 years in a row.
As the pandemic emergency declaration ended this year, several of the pandemic initiatives that permitted Americans to receive COVID testing, treatment, and vaccination — all for free — were discontinued.
However, the Department of Health and Human Services is currently investing $600 million in the production of COVID testing using its Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response.
