The Washington State Department of Health has launched a statewide portal that will allow COVID-19 tests to ship directly to households.

Beginning Friday, Washington state residents will be able to visit www.sayyescovidhometest.org to order rapid-antigen COVID tests online, and will receive those tests delivered at no cost. People can order up to 5 free tests for a household. Supply will be limited at first, and will restock as supply into the state increases.

This is a statewide expansion of the ongoing partnership with CareEvolution and Amazon, a pilot program through NIH that delivered 800,000 tests in parts of Eastern Washington. Following the success of that program, DOH reached out to expand the partnership across the state to offer tests to all Washingtonians.

You can also order tests through a new federal program at covidtests.gov.
