Biden-Harris Administration Renews Free COVID-19 Test Program Starting September 23
Sep 23, 2024, 04:17 PM
The Biden-Harris administration is renewing the free COVID-19 test program for Americans. Starting Monday, September 23, 2024, U.S. households will be able to order up to four free nasal swab tests that will be mailed to their homes. This initiative comes as the new XEC variant spreads across the United States. The program, offered through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, aims to provide accessible testing as the country heads into respiratory virus season. The tests are designed to detect the most recent variants of the virus, ensuring timely diagnosis before the holiday season when families tend to gather. The government has already disbursed more than 900 million free at-home COVID-19 tests.
