Michiganders are urged to take advantage of the federal government’s free COVID-19 testing program. At-home, rapid COVID-19 tests are available for free at COVIDTests.gov, with every household eligible for four free tests that will be shipped directly to Michiganders’ homes.
COVID-19 testing in Michigan is at an all-time high and these at home tests will provide the necessary tools directly to Michigan residents to limit barriers to testing access and empowering residents to take immediate action after receiving a test result.
When to use an at home test:
- if experiencing symptoms of COVID-19
- if exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19 (ideally 5 days after exposure or after experiencing symptoms)
- prior to or after traveling or attending a large gathering
