The federal government is suspending its free at-home COVID-19 test program this week, according to a website set up by the government, following a decrease in COVID-19-related hospitalizations.

The COVIDTests.gov website recently posted a banner alert, stating that it will suspend taking orders for free COVID-19 tests after March 8, 2024.
