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.

Ivermectin has been hailed as a wonder drug for treating parasitic infections, but leading medical experts say the same isn't true for treating COVID-19.

People are paying hundreds of dollars for COVID testing because at-home antigen kits and free appointments that offer timely results are scarce.

The White House's top medical adviser says the virus won't go away entirely. Instead, it should eventually hit a level where it "doesn't disrupt our normal social, economic and other interactions."

A look at the data that omicron is less severe. What does that mean for the future of SARS-CoV-2 — and the pandemic?

Tennis star Novak Djokovic faces deportation again after the Australian government revoked his visa for a second time three days before the Australian Open is set to begin.

While omicron is not as deadly, it is more transmissible.

But activists say if Biden wants voter protections, he should stay in Washington D.C., and focus on the two bills stalled there in the Senate. Plus, a high positive rate in COVID tests around the state.

Teachers began refusing to show up for their jobs in person on Wednesday amid skyrocketing COVID-19 cases, prompting the cancellation of classes for more than 300,000 public school students.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held only two telebriefings in 2021. That lack of transparency has prompted criticism — and a pledge from director Dr. Rochelle Walensky to be more open.
