The Biden administration has relaunched its free COVID-19 testing program, allowing U.S. households to order at-home rapid antigen tests at no cost.

The taxpayer-funded program that paused in March resumed on Sept. 26, according to Dawn O'Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
