Free at-home COVID tests are back. Here’s how to order
Starting Monday, [people in the US] can once again order free at-home COVID-19 tests to be delivered straight to their homes.
The Biden administration announced last week that it is providing $600 million in funding to produce the new tests and restarting a website allowing Americans to order up to four tests per household.
Orders can be placed at COVIDTests.gov, and the no-cost tests will be delivered for free by the United States Postal Service starting Oct. 2, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

The actual hyperlink works, but the URL "covidtests.gov" doesn't go anywhere.
It's www.covid.gov/tests
Thanks, been meaning to look into this and you saved me the mental effort.

If they are a pain in your ass then you are using them incorrectly. The swab goes in your nose.

Thanks for reminding us! Just ordered.
Does anyone know anything if these tests have been updated in any way since the onset of covid? I read a couple mutation strands in that they were less effective as they mutated, but if that is true I imagine we're quite a number of strands down the line now, and am curious about the tests and how they work
That seems a little excessive. Like they need to have a different number for every atom of the Earth.

The news community is primarily US news. If you want primarily non-US news, try the worldnews community.
If you don't like it, take it up with the admins, or host your own instance.

I guess all we can do is post news from our countries.
What's annoying is seeing this same damn whiny complaint on every US news post in this community.
Get the fuck over it already.
