U.S. Government Ending Free At-Home Covid-19 Test Program

The Federal Government is ending it’s free at-home Covid-19 test program this week. According to a statement on Covid.gov ‘ordering through the program will be suspended on Friday because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests.’ The administration launched the initiative in January amid the wave in Omicron variant cases and limited testing availability. In recent months, officials have warned that the administration would be forced to roll back it’s response efforts due to the absence of additional funding from Congress.
