The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced 225,000 free, rapid COVID-19 self-administered test kits are available to residents in certain zip codes in 14 counties. Residents living in specific zip codes can go to AccessCovidTests.org to sign up for a free home delivery. 

These tests are available on a first-come-first-served basis.  Each household will receive five tests within one to two weeks after ordering.  In this initial phase, there is a limit of one kit per household and each kit will include five tests.  The tests and shipping are free to eligible residents.
