How to order your free 4 COVID rapid test from the Federal Government.

Use the link below provided by the United States Postal Service, FYI some shared addresses (like apartment buildings) have had issues where one person say (1 Smith Way Apt 1) ordered the test first and therefore everyone after living on 1 Smith Way request for test would be rejected.  The feds say they are working to fix the problem.
