Oct. 6, 2021 -- Finding an at-home COVID-19 test has been mission impossible for many lately, but that search will soon get easier, thanks to the FDA authorization Monday of a new at-home test and today's announcement that the federal government will spend another $1 billion to speed up production of these tests.
The move, combined with vaccination efforts, will help businesses and schools keep cases down and keep operating safely and smoothly, said Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator. The announcement aligns with the administration’s February commitment of $1.6 billion to supply rapid tests to schools and underserved communities.
That lack of supply and increased demand can make the search for tests frustrating. I know first-hand. I'm fully vaccinated, but I wanted to test after a recent flight, so I checked for the tests online at Amazon and at CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid stores in my area, 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
