Free COVID Testing Coming Soon Ohio Case Numbers How to Order Tests

Each household can receive up to four free tests from the COVIDtest.gov website. Once ordered, the home tests will be shipped to your home free of charge. An exact date has not yet been announced for when Americans will be able to order the COVID-19 tests.

This is the seventh time in the past three years that the government has provided free testing kits to Americans, USA TODAY reports. About 900 million home tests have been sent to homes across the country in partnership with the U.S. Postal Service.

The tests can also detect the dominant variants currently circulating, including the subvariant KP.3.1.1. That variant has accounted for nearly 37% of COVID-19 cases in the U.S., and KP.3 for more than 16%, the CDC said.
