For my USA followers - an article on the NIH "Home Test To Treat" program:

"Acute COVID-19 treatment and testing is unfortunately becoming harder and harder to access with the U.S. government public health emergency having been declared ended. The Home Test To Treat pilot program is a way to fill that gap in an accessible and equitable way."

I thought I'd add that I signed up for this program myself. I'm on Medicare due to disability. The signup process was pretty easy.

After I signed up I requested some free COVID tests. They sent Lucira brand which tests for COVID and Influenza A and B. Note: the test expiration dates were only 5 weeks after I received them so be aware of that!

Photo attached (shows the Home Test to Treat cardboard sleeve and the Lucira test box)

5/5

The top item is the cardboard "sleeve" that came wrapped around the Lucira test box. It says, "Home Test to Treat, COVID-19 & Flu, eMed Test to Treat Kit. Includes 24/7 telehealth visit, COVID-19 & Flu test kid, Prescription for treatment" The bottom item is the box containing the test. It says, "Lucira Covid-19 & Flu Home Test, Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, for individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection including COVID-19."
