Get Your Free COVID Tests Before They Disappear Like Socks in the Dryer!

Americans! It's time to score free COVID tests again—your health's best kept secret this fall!

The U.S. government has come through again with a great offer for citizens, just as we head into respiratory virus season: free at-home COVID-19 testing kits! Yes, you heard that right! Starting Thursday, households across the country can order up to four rapid antigen COVID tests through a simple online process. These kits are perfect for those who want to keep an eye on their health without the hassle of a PCR test. Simply order them online and wait for your little health saviors to arrive at your doorstep via USPS!

Now, you may be wondering what you’ll actually get in this generous offer. Each order includes four rapid antigen tests, all of which are FDA-authorized to ensure you're receiving high-quality products. The rapid tests can deliver results in just 30 minutes, all from the comfort of your home—no need to wait in line at a testing site or go through the whole lab process. So whether you're planning a family gathering, or just want to ensure a sniffle isn't something serious, these tests might be your new best friends!

But why should you care so much about COVID tests now? Well, the respiratory virus season is upon us, and as the weather cools down, more people are going to be indoors. That means more chances for viruses to spread. Having these free tests on hand is akin to having a secret weapon in your health arsenal. You can test before you meet grandma for the holidays or after that dinner party where someone was *definitely* coughing a bit too much. It’s like being responsible has never been easier!

After ordering your tests, you might also want to check in with the latest information about COVID-19 from the CDC, including guidelines on incubation times and symptoms. Staying informed is pivotal! And speaking of interesting facts: did you know that in 2021, the U.S. government distributed over 600 million COVID test kits to households? That’s a staggering amount of peace of mind, people! Remember to grab your free tests because, just like that missing sock in your dryer, they’ll vanish before you know it!
