Website for free COVID tests crashes as FDA appears to show September's availability date
Briefly

As cases of a new COVID-19 variant rise across the U.S., the federal government is reinstating free at-home test kits, responding to high demand and accessibility needs.
The program allows households to order up to four tests to help alleviate financial burdens, especially important as the holiday season approaches and travel increases.
Due to overwhelming demand, the COVIDTests.gov website has experienced crashes, indicating strong public interest ahead of the program's expected launch in September 2024.
The tests are designed to detect current COVID-19 variants, and the initiative coincides with the availability of updated booster shots from Pfizer and Moderna.
