US households are now eligible to order an additional four at-home Covid-19 tests — free of cost — through the government. As of Monday, residential households in the US can submit an order through Covidtests.gov for four individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests. The US government had suspended the rapid test distribution program earlier in May, then reopened it in September. Covid-19 rapid tests can be taken at home and can be used regardless of whether someone has symptoms. Antivirals are available to treat Covid-19 and flu, and testing can help determine which medication is needed.
