Did you know residential households in the U.S. now can order a set of four free at-home Covid-19 tests through the US Postal Service? Having a home Covid-19 test kit is helpful if you or a family member is experiencing symptoms or if you need to have a test result to return to work.

Just go to https://www.covidtests.gov/, click on “Order Free At-Home Tests, and fill out the information to place your order.

There is a limit of one order per residential address, and test kits ship for free via the US Postal Service starting in late January. Orders take approximately 7-12 days to process and arrive.

If you need a Covid-19 test immediately, resources are available right here in Ohio.

No-cost antigen and PCR Covid-⁠19 tests also are available to everyone in the U.S., including the uninsured, at more than 20,000 sites nationwide. Information about community-based testing sites here in Ohio, is available at:  https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/community-based-testing-sites/index.html.
