Here's how to request free at-home COVID tests starting today

Americans can now order four free at-home COVID-19 tests online. It's part of the Biden administration's strategy to make tests more accessible as the Omicron variant continues to cause high numbers of cases across the U.S.

The rapid at-home tests can be ordered on the website covidtests.gov, where you just need to enter your name and address. Tests will be limited to four per household, no matter the size of the household. 

Tests should ship within seven to 12 days of ordering, the White House says.
