Manchin Encourages West Virginians to Order Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests

Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) encouraged all West Virginians to order free at-home COVID-19 tests to help combat the spread of COVID-19. Today is the first day Americans and West Virginians can order one set of four free at-home COVID-19 tests through the beta ordering site, which will open officially tomorrow. Tests will be shipped for free through the U.S. Postal Service.

“Starting today, every West Virginian can order one set of four free at-home COVID-19 tests to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and these tests will be shipped directly to your home. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact each and every one of us. In order to defeat this pandemic, I encourage every West Virginian to order these free tests, get vaccinated and boosted to protect themselves and their loved ones. As we face the Omicron variant and other variants, it is vital that West Virginians get tested when they are exposed or are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Please do your part to protect our fellow West Virginians by getting vaccinated and testing when needed,” said Senator Manchin.

There is a limit of one order per residential address. One order includes four individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests. Orders will ship for free starting in late January.
