Say Yes! COVID Test program continues offering at-home tests

Washington residents can still get up to 10 free at-home Covid-19 tests per month through the Say Yes! COVID Test program. This comes as the U.S. government ended its free at-home testing program on September 2 because of lack of funding and limited supply.

The Say Yes! COVID Test program will offer tests on a first-come, first-serve basis at the beginning of each month, according to a September 9 Washington state Department of Health (DOH) press release. Tests can be ordered online at sayyescovidhometest.org. 

DOH is also asking Washington residents report positive at-home Covid-19 to the Say Yes! COVID Test Digital Assistant, regardless if the tests were ordered through the Say Yes! COVID Test program. People were previously reporting positive tests to the DOH Covid-19 hotline, but the hotline will now primarily be used for Care Connect Washington, which provides support such as food and necessities for people who have recently tested positive. 

People can report their positive tests on the Say Yes! COVID Test website at bit.ly/3BqQKOr. For Care Connect Washington services, call the DOH Covid-19 hotline at 800/525-0127 or online at bit.ly/3cZ2ePV.
