In the wake of a resurgence in the pandemic, the Biden Administration has announced a plan to stay ahead of an increase in Covid-19 cases this winter.
While Covid is not the disruptive force it once was in the United States, the virus continues to evolve, and cases are on the rise again as families are spending more time indoors and gathering for the holidays.
The Administration's Covid Winter Preparedness Plan includes expanding easy access to free COVID-19 testing options in the winter, making free at-home, rapid Covid-19 tests available through COVIDTests.gov, distributing more free tests to Americans at trusted locations, and making vaccinations and treatments readily available to all Americans.
