Great news!
Now every household in the United States can order 4 more free COVID-19 rapid tests!
Able SC's very own Jerri Davison shared her story, "When my daughter got sick, having a home test ready and available allowed my family to contain COVID from spreading in our home. I'm at higher risk of getting very sick because of my depression, and my mom, an older adult, also lives with us."
Even if you haven't ordered test kits before, you should take advantage of this program today. Share this news with your family and neighbors!
We know the federal administration's rollout plan is imperfect. But it is a chance to get more tests to more people, including our disability community that experiences barriers to access. If you are needing help accessing these free tests, please contact us!
When preparing to order:
- The information needed for the order is first name, last name, and household address
- When you order, you will be signed up to get one package of four COVID-19 rapid tests for your household
- Your order cannot use a place of business address
- To track your package, include your email address when prompted on the form. The same email address can be used to track multiple orders
- Your package will take 7 to 12 days to ship
- Order your test kit today, before you need it!
