Getting a COVID-19 test can be difficult. If you’re experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone who’s tested positive, here’s how you can make it easier to get tested for COVID-19.
There’s been a mad dash to get tested or find an at-home testing kit. Many clinics are booked out for appointments while retailers and pharmacies are sold out of at-home testing kits. Thankfully, you can now get free testing kits sent right to your home without having to search or pay.

Free At-Home COVID-19 Testing Kits
Every home in the U.S. can order four (4) free at-home COVID-19 tests. If you already ordered your first set, you can now order a second set.
The tests are completely free. There are no underlying costs and no credit card or health insurance necessary.
There is no shipping fee. Tests are sent first-class mail via the U.S. Postal Service.
To get your complimentary kits, go to COVIDTests.gov and enter your name and address. Tests are expected to ship within seven to 12 days of the order date, according to the White House.
Tests are limited to four per household, regardless of the number of residents.

Just an FYI (had to investigate!), if you’re in an apartment cluster, the govt will have the group listed as 1 address. You may NOT be able to get any – I had never even been tested, let alone, ordered any tests and my error said my household had already received it (people upstairs)!
