BALTIMORE — Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order a 3rd round of free at-home COVID-19 tests, but after September 2, that will no longer be the case.

Ordering through the program will be suspended because Congress hasn't provided additional funding to replenish the nation's stockpile of tests.

At-home tests can be taken anywhere and are the rapid antigen version, not PCR.

Results come back within 30 minutes and no lab drop-off is required.

These tests work even if you're not showing symptoms and aren't up to date on COVID-19 vaccines.
