Free COVID-19 Test Kits Available as Cases Surge

With COVID-19 cases on the rise, the federal government is once again providing free at-home test kits. Starting this month, households can order up to four test kits delivered directly to their homes. The decision to restart this program follows a steady increase in cases since June, a trend highlighted by Dr. Paul Anthony from Hartford Hospital.

Dr. Anthony attributes the recent spike to a combination of COVID-19 variants, hot weather, and widespread pandemic fatigue. He urges people to order their kits now, ahead of the winter season, when not only COVID-19 but also the flu and RSV will circulate.

Be prepared and order your free test kits to protect yourself and your family during the coming months.
