American households can now order an additional set of four rapid COVID-19 antigen tests beginning this week as part of the Biden administration's ongoing efforts to expand testing.

The program, which launched back in January, allows a maximum of eight tests per household. Households that took part in the first round of tests giveaways can now order an additional four while those that missed the opportunity can order up to eight tests.
