Starting in late September, every household will again be able to order at-home COVID tests through COVIDtests.gov. One of the tests has been found to be more accessible for people who are blind or have low vision, as well as people who have low manual dexterity. Watch this page for more information!
Need assistance with at-home COVID tests?
The trained staff at the Disability Information and Access Line (DIAL) can provide additional assistance with:
- Finding other COVID tests.
- Providing alternative instructions for traditional at-home tests, which may make it possible for blind and low-vision users to use those tests.
- For those who cannot use an at-home test, DIAL operators can:
- Connect callers to local organizations for assistance locating other testing options in their community, including in-home testing programs or transportation or companion support to visit a community-based testing site.
- Call 888-677-1199, visit the DIAL website for chat and ASL services, or email DIAL@usaginganddisability.org. DIAL operators are available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Eastern)
