You can order free at home Covid tests by mail too.

The good news is that you can now order at home tests for free through the
@USPS!

I am still looking into the reports of error messages for some folks,
but most people have been able to get their orders in here:https://t.co/0uka5cziML

If you’ve had issues signing up for your free tests, first try using the
@USPS address
lookup site to see how your address is listed.

But if that does
not fix it, you can reach out directly to USPS at the site in the article or
call 1-800-ASK-USPS.https://t.co/ewkfm62yyP

I joined

to talk about Omicron in NYC, what this pandemic taught us about preparing
for the next one and the role politicians must play in supporting public
health.

We went deep on a few things and this one is definitely
worth a listen!https://t.co/SWQu93dIGj
