Starting Friday, Sept. 2, Americans will no longer be able to order free at-home COVID-19 tests due to a lack of congressional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
A website set up by the government during the Omicron outbreak that helped households secure COVID-19 tests at no cost will be suspended next week because of the need to maintain resources to deal with an expected surge in COVID-19 cases this fall.
