The federal government is putting a pause on sending free COVID-19 testing kits to Americans starting in September, due to a lack of funding. "Ordering through this program will be suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn't provided additional funding to replenish the nation's stockpile of tests," the ordering website says.
