"USPS Ends Free COVID Test Kit Distribution: Last Chance to Order"
TL;DR
The US government will stop accepting orders for free at-home Covid-19 tests on 8 March, with each household able to place an order until then via the USPS. The decision comes amid slowing case rates, but the tests could still be distributed in the future. Additionally, the CDC has changed isolation guidance for those testing positive for Covid-19, and antiviral treatment Paxlovid will no longer be authorized for emergency use, except for high-risk pediatric patients.
