Households in the U.S. will receive eight test kits via the U.S. Postal Service. The release comes as cases have risen over 60% in the U.S. over the past two weeks.

The federal “test-to-treat” program was designed to be a one-stop shop for people to get tested and receive treatment. But as cases rise again, many communities have no participating locations, and website bugs make it difficult to book an appointment at the biggest participant.

As the demand for vaccines and tests is decreasing due to a decline in cases, here's where you can still get tested or vaccinated.

The tests, which had expired in late December, are earmarked for emergency management offices, county health departments, hospitals and long-term care facilities.

As the number of new cases continues to climb, so does the test positivity rate, which topped 31% statewide in the week ending Thursday. All seven counties in the greater Tampa Bay region posted rates over 20%.
