Here’s how you can get free COVID tests in California — and when they’ll be available
Californians will soon be able to get free at-home COVID-19 tests in the mail.
The federal government is relaunching its program to send no-cost coronavirus test supplies to U.S. households, following a rise in COVID-19 cases across the country in the summer.
The program had been on hiatus since the fall of 2023.
All Americans can begin ordering four free tests at the end of September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced on its website.
“The COVID-19 tests will detect current COVID-19 variants and can be used through the end of the year,” the agency said.
