Every household in the United States can order four COVID testing kits. We have all heard about cases rising in the United States as of late. This will be something that you will want to take advantage of since some establishments, destinations, and events require you to either be vaccinated or to have a negative test before visiting.

What You Should Know About These Tests

The free testing kits that you will receive will be rapid antigen tests that will provide results within 30 minutes. Plus, they will work whether or not you have COVID-⁠19 symptoms. These tests are super easy to do yourself. The United States Postal Service is handling the process of ordering, shipping, and delivering the tests.
