If you ordered your free at-home COVID tests from the government earlier this year, the White House says you can now place another order for a set of four tests per household.
posted a video on Twitter featuring President Joe Biden discussing the availability of the at-home tests.
"Today I want you to know that if you’ve already ordered free tests, you can now order another round, shipped directly to your home for free, so we’re prepared no matter what COVID-19 brings," Biden said. Earlier this year, Biden announced his administration would make available 500 million free COVID tests to anyone who wanted one.
The White House announced that Americans have placed 68 million orders for packages of the at-home COVID-19 tests, which leaves roughly 46% of the stock of tests, or nearly half, still available to be ordered. This month, the White House said COVID-19 testing manufacturers would begin to slow production of at-home rapid tests unless the federal government signs contracts to buy more. Officials stated that could result in a supply crunch should there be another surge in virus cases.
