Get 4 Free COVID-19 Tests
Every U.S. household can order 4 more free COVID-19 self-tests.
Self-tests (also called at-home tests and over-the-counter tests) are one of several tools that protect you and others by reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19.
Self-tests can be taken at home or anywhere, are easy to use, and produce rapid results.
You can place an order
? Online at COVIDTests.gov (information is also available on extended expiration dates)
? By calling 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489)
? By calling or emailing the Disability Information and Access Line (DIAL) at 1-888-677-1199 or [email protected] (for people with disabilities)
Things to Consider When Taking A COVID-19 Test
When you get tested for COVID-19:
1. Make sure to test at the right time
2. Choose the right type of test for your circumstance
3. Follow test directions as recommended by FDA
Visit CDC?s website to learn more about COVID-19 testing, including how and when to use a self-test, and other things to keep in mind when you take a COVID-19 test.
Many of us may have expired COVID-19 self-tests. Before you throw out ?expired? COVID-19 self-tests, check to see if their expiration dates have been extended.
The expiration date is the date through which the test is expected to perform as accurately as when manufactured. Sometimes, a test?s expiration date is extended.
You can check FDA?s website to find more information on the test, including if the expiration date has been extended, how the test performs, and other details that may help you decide what test is right for you.
