Residents will be able to place the second order of free at-home COVID-19 rapid tests starting next week on USPS.com or covidtests.gov. Households will be able to place two orders that each contain four tests, for a total of eight tests per residential address.

According to the postal service, more than 270 million COVID-19 tests have been delivered to households as part of President Biden’s plan to distribute free at-home tests to all Americans, WFTV reported.
