KEEP READING TO FIND OUT 3 IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE FREE COVID-19 AT-HOME SELF-TESTS, BUT FIRST...A QUICK PERSONAL STORY

I managed to go through two whole years of the COVID pandemic without getting coronavirus. I was meticulous about wearing face masks everywhere I went outside of my home, including in my office at work. I didn’t shake hands with anyone and curbed all of my hugging, which was extremely difficult for me because I am from The South and we hug EVERYBODY down there! I got my two COVID shots and one of the boosters. I was so grateful not to catch COVID.

All of my efforts went out the window when I returned from a vacation to Las Vegas with the coronavirus. Thankfully, I didn’t contract it until the day I returned home, but still, it was an awful experience.

Fortunately, my 11-year-old daughter was away on her vacation visiting family in another state, so she wasn’t exposed to my germs. I was able to isolate myself at home and recover. A wonderful friend of mine is a registered nurse and had a few at-home COVID self-tests that she dropped off for me on my doorstep. What a relief that was because each test costs about $10 and I didn’t have any extra money to spare on buying them. I had already used up the free COVID home tests that the government had given us in 2021.
