Starting today, the US government will again mail four free test kits per household. Here's how to get them.
Covid hospitalizations and deaths are on the rise
and as the US heads into the fall and winter, when spikes have often occurred. A reformulated Covid vaccine, to protect against the latest variants, has also recently been approved and is available—though appointments in the Washington, DC, area currently can be hard to come by and some people have had appointments cancelled because the pharmacy did not have the new vaccine.
A notice on the US Postal Service website that is set up for ordering the free tests cautions that “Tests may show ‘expired’ dates on the box, but FDA has extended those dates.” based on tests done by the test manufacturers. Which is good news if you have expired test kits at home—don’t just toss them out; they often are still accurate.
