free covid tests from government

Every U.S. household is eligible to order 4 free at-home COVID-⁠19 tests 1 , and there are four ways to get free at-home tests: through the Postal Service, through their health insurance plan, Medicare, and community testing sites, libraries, food banks, and schools. 2 Most people with a health plan can go online, or to a pharmacy or store to purchase an at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic test authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at no cost, either through reimbursement or free of charge through their insurance. 3 The Biden-Harris Administration is strongly incentivizing health plans and insurers to set up a network of convenient locations across the country such as pharmacies or retailers where people with private health coverage will be able to order online or walk in and pick up at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for free. 3
