coronavirus testing

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is lifting its COVID-19 testing requirement for airline travelers coming into the country. It's a major change for the travel industry.

With the BA.2 subvariant of omicron pushing infection rates up, many are reaching for at-home rapid tests. Here's what experts say on how best to use them.

More than half of U.S. households have ordered at-home COVID-19 tests to be shipped to their homes. Now they can get more.

The at-home tests are expected to be delivered by USPS later this month. The White House said the site is in "beta testing" and will be launched formally Wednesday.

The White House announced 1,000 military medical personnel will go to Ohio and five other states in the coming days. Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said some of them will be providing additional medical staff for the Cleveland Clinic.

President Biden and others in his administration insist schools should stay open, even with the omicron wave making it harder than ever to manage.

A new requirement for the spring semester, all students living in the residence halls and in sorority or fraternity houses will have to test once a week throughout the semester regardless of their vaccination status.

Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said the record-high number of cases right now is driving record-high hospitalizations. He uses the word, “tsunami” when describing this surge, driven by the omicron variant.

Rapid at-home COVID tests are in short supply after holiday gatherings and a nationwide test shortage. Public libraries have been handing out those test kits but they are going out the door as soon as supply comes in.

Americans are scrambling to find out if they're COVID-free so they can go through with their plans. But for many, that means queuing up for hours or tracking down scarce at-home testing kits.
