US Government Resumes Free COVID-19 Test Program
TL;DR
The US government has reopened its free Covid-19 testing program, allowing people to order four tests per household through Covidtests.gov or by phone. The rapid tests can be taken at home and are valid through the end of the year, even if the expiration date on the package has passed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends testing for Covid-19 symptoms, before attending large events, and after close contact with an infected person. The Biden administration plans to make additional tests available to uninsured individuals through community outreach programs.
