Americans would be able to order the tests at CovidTests.Gov in coming weeks.
The federal government program used for the last two winters to send freetests to Americans' homes will get up-and-running once again in the coming weeks, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said Wednesday.
CovidTests.Gov has been an on-and-off presence since the winter of 2022, when the omicron variant was ripping across the country.But the site was temporarily shut down that fall as a political fight dragged on over COVID funding. Officials said they had to conserve tests in case they didn't get more money -- which they didn't.
COVID-19 hospitalizations are continuing to climb in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
