Marshall County Health Department Logo

The Marshall County Health Department has issued information on obtaining federal home tests.

On January 14, 2022, the Biden Administration announced the distribution of rapid COVID-19 at-home tests. This administration purchased one billion tests. On January 19th, American households can begin to order these at-home tests. Families can go to COVIDTests.gov to order them and shipping will take place 7-12 days of placing the order.

Starting January 15th, private health insurance companies are required to cover at-home COVID-19 tests for free. Contact your private health insurance carrier for specific steps that must be followed to receive the free at-home tests.
