We are pleased to share that the supply of COVID-19 at-home self-tests available through the HRSA COVID-19 Testing Supply Program has substantially increased. We have also added the option for all HRSA-supported health centers and Medicare-certified rural health clinics to order COVID-19 point-of-care (POC) testing supplies from the Testing Supply Program and N95 masks from the HRSA Health Center COVID-19 N95 Mask Program.
While we understand that demand for these products in your communities may have decreased in recent weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic is dynamic and “hot-spots” are continuously emerging. HRSA encourages health centers and rural health clinics to continue to place orders to ensure that you are able to respond to any unexpected surge in demand. COVID-19 testing is critically important to ensure that positive COVID-19 cases are identified and individuals can receive treatment.
Community Partnerships
HRSA is committed to ensuring that people at greatest risk from COVID-19 have equitable access to resources that can help prevent its spread. We encourage health centers to consider their ordering numbers as they work closely with their community partners to leverage HRSA's various COVID-19 response programs and distribute essential supplies to these populations, including older adults, people with disabilities, and residents of Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-assisted housing. For additional information, please see the following announcements regarding these partnerships from the White House, HRSA and the Administration for Community Living (ACL), and HUD.
