You can now order eight more free COVID-19 tests through USPS. We have the link to order:
Every home in the U.S. is allowed to order these tests, regardless of whether the residents ordered tests during the previous rounds of availability, according to the COVID.gov site. This time around, there is an order limit of two orders per residential address.
The U.S. is averaging 95,813 cases a day, up 57% from two weeks ago, according to a New York Times tracker. Cases are higher in nearly every state, but the Northeast and Midwest are being particularly hard hit, with case reports in both regions now higher than they were at the peak of last summer’s delta surge. There are concerns that case numbers are even higher, as many people are now testing at home and the data is not being collected.
The New York City health department raised its COVID-19 alert level to high from medium on Tuesday, and said it now advises all New Yorkers to wear a mask in indoor public settings. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a booster shot of the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. PFE, +3.59% and German partner BioNTech SE BNTX, -2.90% for children aged 5 to 11 , a move telegraphed earlier by the New York Times.
The test does not require a prescription. People swab at home and send the test by mail to a Labcorp lab. Results are then made available in an online portal. Teens and children are also authorized to test with the support of adults. The test kit costs $169 and may be covered by insurance, according to a spokesperson. It is expected to be available within the next three weeks.
A group of physicians led by the University of Minnesota’s Dr. David Boulware in late 2021 formally requested that the FDA authorize fluvoxamine as a COVID-19 treatment. “I’m disappointed that FDA holds generics to different standards as big pharma, in this case using different definition of endpoints of what is a [COVID-19-related] ‘hospitalization,'” Boulware tweeted Monday.
