Biden administration to stop sending free at-home COVID-19 tests Friday, NBC News reports No description found
WASHINGTON – The government will end its giveaway of COVID-19 at-home tests Friday because of insufficient congressional funding, a senior Biden administration official said Sunday.
A stockpile of the tests is being depleted, and officials want to have enough on hand in the event of a fall surge, the source said.
The giveaway, which includes tests mailed at no cost to recipients who request them at Covidtests.gov , will end Friday, according to an announcement on the site — unless there’s a surprise round of funding from Congress, the source said.
