KALAMAZOO, Mich. — In an effort to increase access and testing supplies, the Biden administration launched a new website for people to order free at-home COVID-19 tests.

Tests are in high demand and have been increasingly difficult to find.

"There’s a consensus that the United States could and should have invested more in rapid testing and testing in general for COVID-19," said Dr. William Nettleton, the medical director at the Kalamazoo County Health Department.

Covidtests.gov officially went live Wednesday.

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order four rapid at-home COVID-19 tests.

Launch: White House soft-launches COVID-19 test request website
The tests are completely free. You can order by filling out the form on the site with your contact information and shipping address.

There is a limit of one order per residential address.

The website states orders usually ship in 7 to 12 days and will be delivered by the United States Postal Service.

As of last Saturday, insurance companies and health plans are now required to cover eight free over-the-counter, at-home tests per covered individual, per month.

As cases of the omicron variant rise, health officials say testing is crucial to stop the spread of COVID-19.

"We all need to make testing more routine in our lives right now," said Nettleton. "It helps reduce the spread. If I know I’m positive, I can isolate and protect those around me from getting COVID."

Tests can be ordered on covidtests.gov.

Yup. I'm drowning in Omicron but fearing the next variant.

COVID ripped through my job over the last month, staff and residents. Knock on wood, as far as I know, I haven't had it. It's wearing us all down. At least they started giving us a little bit of hazard pay when there is an outbreak.
