Massachusetts Officials Taking Big Steps To Stop The Spread Of COVID

The governor announced a plan to distribute free-rapid at home COVID tests, saying it will be "a potential game-changer" this holiday season.

Two million free COVID-19 rapid tests are heading to residential homes in Massachusetts.

"Like vaccines, these rapid at home tests are a game changer as we continue to battle COVID here in the commonwealth," Governor Charlie Baker said.

The move comes as new COVID cases rise in the state.
