FREE COVID-19 at-home test kit

0Comments

New FREE COVID-19 at-home test kit opportunity!  More zip codes are now eligible for free tests through Project ACT: 48197, 48198, 48103, 48104, 48105, 48108, and 48109.

If your zip code is eligible, you can request free at-home tests online at https://accesscovidtests.org! Residents are able to request tests once per month in July and August (so if you’ve already ordered tests from Project ACT, you can now request more). 

Households will receive one kit each month containing five tests. Those without internet access can call 211 for help ordering tests.

Note for those who get tests through Project ACT: The FDA granted a three-month shelf-life extension for the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test, which extended the shelf-life of all iHealth tests with expiration dates on or before 2022-09-29 (YYYY-MM-DD) from 6 months to 9 months. 

For example, if the expiration date printed on your box says 2022-07-21, the updated expiration date is 2022-10-20. You can see more details and look up your tests by lot number to confirm the updated expiration date here: https://ihealthlabs.com/pages/news#expiration
