Thank you for posting this and I filled out the online form and ordered the 4 free Covid tests last week. They haven't arrived yet but I am assuming that they will soon.

I am adding a link to an article below re: another upcoming program that anyone in the US can get three free N95 masks from certain pharmacies. This program has not yet rolled out in my state (and I checked w/my CVS today) but they said that more info is coming soon.

I couldn't find another post about this. They offer 4 Covid 19 tests per home in the United States, free with free shipping.

I just ordered the 4 free tests, 2 days ago and they shipped them out today. Even though they had this quote on the order page.

Due to high demand, we're fulfilling orders as tests come in: Place your order now and it will ship as soon as USPS receives tests from manufacturers. Thank you for your patience.

It only took 2-3 minutes to fill out the needed info.

This is a direct link to the order form-

I got the free tests I ordered 3 days ago, today. They are the Abbott otc tests, that sell in stores here in the United States for 20-$24 for 2 tests, (one box). The link above gives us 2 boxes with 2 tests in each box, per address.

So if I bought these at a local store, they would have cost me 40-$48 for the 4 tests, (2 boxes of 2 tests each).

My four free Covid Tests arrived a few weeks ago but they were a different brand than what @ljimbo423 mentioned above.

My family & friends got some other brands so there must be at least 4-5 different at home test kit brands that the government is sending out.

I also got the three free KN95 masks from CVS and you just ask for them inside the store.
