Free At-Home COVID Test Kits from the Government

As we ramp up our recovery from the pandemic, we encourage everyone to obtain their FREE COVID-19 TESTS! If you already ordered 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests from the federal government’s website COVIDtests.gov, you can now get 4 additional free at-home tests shipped to your home. 

Visit COVIDtests.gov to place your order. Enter your name and mailing address. Include an email address, if you want status updates on your order.

If you haven’t yet ordered any at-home tests fromCOVIDtests.gov, you can get a total of 8 free tests shipped to your home. You just need to place 2 separate orders — each order equals 4 tests.

ABOUT THE AT-⁠HOME COVID-⁠19 TESTS

  • These are rapid antigen at-home tests, not PCR tests

  • Can be taken anywhere

  • Give results within 30 minutes (no lab drop-off required)

  • Work whether or not you have COVID-⁠19 symptoms

  • Work whether or not you are vaccinated

  • Check the expiration date on the test kits you receive and use the tests with the earliest expiry date first

  • These tests are also referred to as self-tests or over-the-counter (OTC) tests
