Each order contains four tests and there is a one-order limit for each residential address.

According to the order form, the USPS plans to start shipping the tests out, for free, later this month.

Late last year, the Biden administration announced a plan to distribute 500 million free, rapid tests to Americans, followed by a promise to purchase another 500 million tests, last week.

Administration officials also say they will announce their plan to distribute high-quality masks, for free, to any Americans who want one, next week.

FAQs on COVID test delivery

Can I order more tests if I live in a large or multigenerational household?

No. To promote broad access, the initial program will only allow 4 free individual tests per residential address.

There are numerous other options to get tested for free, including over 20,000 free testing sites across the country. If you have health insurance, your insurance will also cover the cost of over-the-counter, at-home tests (up to 8 at-home tests per month for each person on your plan).
