Order more free COVID tests from the federal government

May 17, 2022 – News

Every home in the U.S. can order two sets of 4 free at-⁠home COVID-19 tests (8 tests total). If you already ordered your first and second set, order a third today at COVIDtests.gov. There are no shipping fees and you don’t need to enter a credit card number. The only information required to order the tests is your name and address. You can include your email address if you want updates on your order. If you have not yet placed an order for the first or second round, you’ll be given the option to do so after filling out the form at COVIDtests.gov.

Testing is an important tool to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Public health experts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend using a self-test:

  • If you begin having COVID-⁠19 symptoms like fever, sore throat, runny nose, or loss of taste or smell; or
  • At least 5 days after you come into close contact with someone with COVID-⁠19; or
  • When you’re going to gather with a group of people, especially those who are at risk of severe disease or may not be up to date on their COVID-⁠19 vaccines.
