Update: Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests for Blind and Low-Vision People

Thanks to the dedicated advocacy work of the organized blind movement 
and supporters, the Biden-Harris Administration has launched a new 
initiative to expand the availability of at-home tests that are more 
accessible. Blind and low-vision people can order one set of two free, 
more accessible at-home tests from USPS.com (while supplies last). 
Order online through https://special.usps.com/testkits 
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26407&qid=7318058> or by calling 
1-800-232-0233. Each order will include two rapid-antigen tests and 
will ship free, while supplies last.

Because of limited supply, we ask that you only order the more 
accessible tests if you do not have other testing options. To use the 
tests, you must have a compatible Bluetooth-enabled smartphone and 
download and install a free app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or 
Google Play Store (for Android). The test works with the app to provide 
audio step-by-step instructions for administering the test and audio 
test results.

Per the Administration of Community Living, this initiative complements 
the Administration’s efforts 
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26409&qid=7318058> to expand 
production of more accessible tests and work with private sector 
partners on the development of new accessible tests.

Additional Resource

The Disability Information and Assistance Line (DIAL) 
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26396&qid=7318058> is an 
additional resource, connecting people with disabilities to COVID-19 
vaccination and testing in their communities. DIAL can also provide 
testing instructions and other assistance with the at-home tests that 
can be ordered from the government. The National Federation of the 
Blind encourages contacting DIAL to inquire about accessible testing 
options. DIAL support can be reached by calling 888-677-1199 or by 
emailing dial at usaginganddisability.org 
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26397&qid=7318058>.
