You can now get four more free Covid-19 at-home test kits delivered to your door, the Biden administration announced Thursday.
As part of a plan to "stay ahead of an increase in Covid-19 cases this winter," the White House announced in a press briefing that it revived the free test kit program that ended in September due to an "absence" of Congressional funding.
The Biden administration says it will fund a "limited round" of four individual rapid antigen Covid-19 tests per household that can be ordered starting Thursday.
