Covid Test

Just wondering if anyone received their free covid tests yet in the mail.

I have not, but yes, I've seen other posters say they have.

No I haven't and I ordered on Jan 18th and got confimation that same day.

The Post Office said they would send an email when they were shipped, and that they would be shipping at the end of January. I am sure that the number of tests that must be produced as well as shipped/delivered will result in some delays.

I have to say that all throughout this whole Covid and supply chain mess that the USPS

has done better by me in most instances than FedEx or UPS. Amazon has usually been good also. Good luck!

Yes, the first of last week. They're kind of a waste of time and effort as mine expires the first of July.

I was only tested once while in the ER for another matter in late September. The first nurse who conducted the test did not do it correctly so there was not a good reading of the results. The second nurse really pushed up there so the results were seen and all negative. I hope even non medical people can have accurate results with these at home products. It worried me if a nurse could not even do it right then I probably could not either.

@Pinay55

Not yet. Like many, ordered Jan. 18, got an order confirmation from USPS, but that's it.

I'm in Southern Maryland.

My daughter got hers today. They expire on July 5. These at home tests fo not have a long shelf life and many will be wasted.

Effie54 — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 18:21:55 GMT

No, and I ordered them Jan. 18.

Jacie — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 18:21:58 GMT

Oh I got mine. Made in China.....won't be using those. Ironic.

@beckyb1012 They are not difficult to use at all. I have used several brands and they all have different instructions and different materials.

The first tests I got made my nose burn when I swabbed. I took a test on Saturday and it did not burn at all. As long as the tip gets wet, they should work. Some people also swab the back of their throat too...before they swab the nose.

The tests are pretty accurate and doctor offices are using them as well.

@Kachina624

As you say, they’re good for 5 months.

Seems pretty good to me.
