Biden Administration Allocates $600 Million for Free At-Home Covid-19 Tests

The Biden administration is providing $600 million in funding to produce new at-home Covid-19 tests and restarting a website where Americans can order up to four free tests per household. The tests will be delivered for free through the USPS. The government aims to address supply chain issues and prevent shortages of at-home tests made overseas. The website will remain open during the fall and winter seasons, and potentially longer if cases increase. The government plans to distribute 200 million at-home tests over the next 18 months to strengthen production levels and control the spread of the virus.
