The Washington State Department of Health launched a website Friday where people can order free at-home COVID-19 tests that will be shipped to their doorstep.
Washington residents can order the tests at www.sayyescovidhometest.org. Up to five free tests are available per household.
Supplies will be limited at first but are expected to increase as more tests arrive in Washington.
“We anticipate people’s initial need in the test kits will exceed our current supply pretty quickly, but our focus is sharing what we have right now,” said Lacy Fehrenbach, Washington state deputy secretary for COVID response in a press release. “We want to make sure the tests we have are in homes when our state needs testing the most – during this current surge.”
