Free COVID-19 tests available for Oregonians

People in Oregon can now order additional free at-home COVID-19 tests from the federal government. Each U.S. household can receive four free individual at-home COVID-19 tests, delivered for free via U.S. Postal Service.

The at-home tests target a part of the virus that does not change as new variants emerge. So, any unexpired at-home COVID-19 tests can detect currently circulating COVID-19 variants.

To order the tests, go to www.COVIDTests.gov or call 800-232-0233.
