The federal government's program of providing free at-home COVID-19 tests sent by mail will end on Sept. 2 due to a lack of funding, NBC News reported.
The covid.gov website states that the program will end on that date as "Congress hasn't provided additional funding to replenish the nation's stockpile of tests."
NBC News said that Biden officials want to ensure there are enough tests stockpiled in case there is a COVID surge in the fall.
Rapid COVID-19 test maker: Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT), Quidel (NASDAQ:QDEL), Roche (OTCQX:RHHBY) Orasure Technologies (NASDAQ:OSUR), and Lucira Health (LHDX).
