Americans will be able to begin ordering rapid COVID-19 tests to their homes free of charge starting Jan. 19 from the federal government. Starting Wednesday, you can order a test from COVIDTests.gov, which the federal government will send out at no cost including no shipping fees. A half billion tests will be available for order at first, with an additional 500 million on order.
To distribute the tests, the Biden administration will partner with the United States Postal Service. Postal workers at 43 facilities around the country including in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh will build and label millions of the testing kits for mail delivery.

Where can I request free tests?
Starting Jan. 19, you can go to COVIDTests.gov and request free tests. The website is currently active, but is not yet accepting orders. It is not yet clear what information you will need to provide in order to receive the tests, but you wont need to provide any credit card information.
If you dont have internet access, or for those who need additional support to get tests, there will be a free call line accepting phone-in orders. The number for the call line was not included in the White Houses statement on the programs launch.
