The United States Postal Service is now taking orders for free at-home COVID tests. They were originally slated to begin taking orders on Wednesday, but you can go to COVIDtests.gov and order yours so you have them.

You can order up to 4 kits and they will arrive by "late January" and will be shipped for free.  The White House says it will prioritize shipments to Americans from ZIP codes that have experienced high rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths, with the first 20% of each day's orders going to those areas.

It was announced by the President last week that the Administration will buy 1 billion at-home tests for Americans, and the White House will make high quality masks available next week also at no cost.  If you know anyone who does not have access to the internet or no computer, a toll free number will be coming as well.
