Free COVID-19 Test Kits are Now Available from the U.S. Postal Service

Covidtests.gov, a new website from the federal government, launched on Wednesday to provide free COVID-19 test kits to every American household.

Each household is eligible to order up to four tests, completely free of charge, at https://special.usps.com/testkits. The tests can also be ordered by phone at 1-800-232-0233.

The free tests are set to be delivered by the United States Postal Service, with orders usually shipping in seven to twelve days. Shipments will also be prioritized for Americans living in ZIP codes that have demonstrated high rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

“Regular testing is another way for us to keep seniors safe during these unprecedented times,” said Robert Roach, Jr., President of the Alliance. “There is a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ link at www.covidtests.gov to make ordering the free test kits as easy as possible.”
