With the emergence of the new XEC variant and increasing COVID-19 cases, the government is providing free at-home test kits to all households.
The USPS will begin shipping the free test kits next week to ensure availability before the busy holiday season and potential winter virus surge.
Vaccination is encouraged alongside testing, with the CDC urging Americans to get updated booster shots to combat the rising COVID-19 cases this fall and winter.
The rapid antigen tests, available on covidtests.gov, provide quick results at home without the need for lab drop-off, facilitating easier monitoring.
