The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced it is providing all Kansas households free, at-home COVID-19 tests through June 15.

The tests are available through the Project Access COVID Tests (or Project ACT) program, KDHE announced in a press release.

Kansans can order the tests online at AccessCovidTests.org. 

Each household can place an order for five at-home test kits. Kansans who need more support to order tests may call 866-534-3463.

KDHE has already distributed more than 300,000 tests to Kansas families via Project ACT.

“The ending of the public health emergency is expected to change access to free testing, but our partnership with Project ACT helps us continue to ease access for households with limited access to health care,” Joan Duve, state health officer, said. “Testing continues to help Kansans know whether to stay home or to seek treatment.”

Individuals should check their test’s expiration date before using it. If the date has passed, the test may still be appropriate to use, although residents are urged to check for an FDA extension at fda.gov.
