President Joe Biden is going to make 500 million at-home COVID-19 test kits available for free starting next month, in a move to try helping the country get through another pandemic winter as cases rage from the omicron variant.
The new year is less than two weeks away, but that might seem like an eternity for people who are standing in line for tests at testing sites and have holiday plans they’d like to stick with. There are over-the-counter at-home COVID-19 test kits to buy, and demand for those is increasing. New Jersey is offering saliva test kits to residents. In order to obtain results, the test user has to be observed on a Zoom ZM, +0.22% call with a “collection supervisor” from Vault Medical Services, the test provider that’s working with the state on the effort. Test supervision operations run seven days a week. Once the collection is observed, the person mails the sample.
