With the recent shortage of COVID-19 tests because of a spike in cases, the U.S. Postal Service announced that they will be taking orders for at-home test kits starting now.

The kits will include four rapid tests per household and will be free of charge to those residing in the U.S. Orders will typically ship within seven to 12 days.

The White House said it will prioritize the areas that have had higher numbers in COVID-19 cases and deaths.

The kits are due to ship out Wednesday morning, but you can click here to place an order now.
