MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin households can now get two free at-home COVID-19 self-test kits every month through the Say Yes! COVID Test program.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said each test kit includes five rapid antigen tests for a total of 10 self-tests. Initially, the program started with one test per household.

“It’s important that we continue to provide equitable access to COVID-19 testing to stop the spread of this disease,” DHS Deputy Secretary Deb Standridge said. “Ordering test kits [through] the website is quick, easy, and free for any Wisconsin household, and you do not need health insurance to place an order.”

The DHS said since the start of the program in September 2022, more than 1.6 million test kit orders have been placed, with orders being delivered to every Wisconsin county. Households can place an order once per month and the ordering reopens the first of every month.

Additionally, the FDA recently extended expiration dates for many COVID-19 self-tests. If tests are past their expiration date, use the lot number on the test package to look up the current expiration date on the FDA list.

The DHS also noted that staying up to date on vaccine and booster doses is the best form of protection against COVID-19.

Anyone without reliable internet access or who has questions about ordering can dial 211, or (877) 947-2211 for help.
