The decision to make COVID tests available at-home comes as the United States has shifted to private testing alternatives for infection verification, with large-scale testing becoming less popular in most places. Despite the introduction of novel variations, which have resulted in an increase in infection rates, this remains the case. 

Google stated that it is making it simpler to discover at-home COVID-19 tests, specifically through search, rather than simply from testing sites. If you search for “COVID test,” you’ll now get additional information about at-home testing options, including where to get free tests if they’re available. But if you search for “at-home COVID test near me,” you should be able to get the details of the store details near your location that provides the at-home test kits.
