The FDA is making rapid COVID tests more accessible.

The government is providing $550 million in funding to community-based testing programs nationwide.

And $300 million is being allocated for testing supplies in nursing homes.

Also, three at-home testing kits just got the green light from the FDA.

Those tests will be available in a few weeks.
