Free COVID-19 tests are coming back for fall 2024
(CBS News) — As cases of a new COVID-19 variant tick upward across the U.S., the federal government is again offering Americans free at-home COVID-19 test kits.
Individuals and households can begin ordering the test kits later this month, on the heels of a summer wave of COVID-19 cases.
The Biden administration restarted the same program last fall, too, after a brief pause to conserve supplies of the test.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the program, has not yet said when it will start taking orders again for the at-home COVID-19 tests through the COVIDTests.gov website.
