The return of the White House’s free COVID-19 test kits also brings back something else: the “Made-in-China” label.

The program, the fifth of its kind, allows each U.S. household to order up to four free tests online starting from Sept. 25, with shipments delivered through the U.S. Postal Service without charge.
