CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) -The federal government wants everyone to have access to a COVID test to make sure people know if they are sick before going to work or school, spreading the disease.
Each household can get four tests shipped to their home for free, by registering on a site that was supposed to launch on Wednesday.
After checking, we found the site is up and running, accepting orders which was then confirmed by an email from the U.S. Postal Service.
The site to get free tests is covidtests.gov.
The tests being shipped are rapid antigen at-home tests, not PCR.
