You'll be able to order free at-home COVID test kits starting on Wednesday

The Biden administration announced Friday that Americans can begin ordering free at-home COVID-19 tests starting January 19th.

Orders for up to four tests per household can be placed using a website, COVIDTests.gov. The administration will also set up a phone number so those without access to computers or high-speed internet can place orders.

The White House said tests will usually ship within 7-12 days of ordering, meaning most Americans won't receive them until the end of January.

People ordering tests will input their name and mailing address on the website and can share an email address to get updates on the order, officials said.
