State of Colorado Will Send FREE Rapid COVID Tests To Your Home

From CPR.org:

"Colorado is renewing a push to get free, rapid, at-home tests to residents. 
Gov. Jared Polis said Tuesday at a press conference that with the revamp of the state’s COVID-19 testing program, Coloradans can now get the tests sent directly to their homes.
“I know that if these tests are in the field, being used, people are getting results back, isolating earlier, spreading the virus less, it will save lives and help end the pandemic in Colorado,” Polis said.
Rapid coronavirus tests have been plentiful in other countries, but to date bureaucratic hurdles have stymied US efforts. 
The state purchased two million Abbott BinaxNOW rapid tests. The governor didn’t specify the amount of money or source for the funds to buy the tests.
“We want to get the tests out. If we go through these tests in three, four or five weeks, we will absolutely look into seeing how we might be able to continue the Binax at home program,” the governor said.
People can sign up to get the tests at the state's COVID-19 testing website."
