As of late September 2024, residential households in the U.S. are eligible for another order of 4 free at-home tests from USPS.com. Each order of free COVID-19 tests includes #4 individual rapid antigen tests (COVIDTests.gov has more details about at-home tests, including extended shelf life and updated expiration dates). Orders are free—you won’t even pay for shipping. However, one order of four tests per household is limited.

While the incidence of COVID is significantly down in the US, that is in large part due to built-in immunity from previous cases and the vaccine. It also has to do with our increased research and understanding of the disease and how it spreads. By taking the treatment of COVID seriously, we continue to weaken the impact this virus has on us and others.

COVID-19 testing can help you know if you have COVID-19 so you can decide what to do next, like getting treatment to reduce your risk of severe illness and taking steps to lower your chances of spreading the virus to others. IF you test positive, know there are many treatments available for you. Contact your medical health professional or look here for a treatment center near you. COVID-19 testing is still the best way to limit this virus and keep loved ones safe. Order free tests online. Today’s first step is to order your free COVID-19 tests for the upcoming flu season.
