POLITICO's Pulse Check

After more than a month of surging case numbers due to the Omicron variant, the Biden administration is responding with more testing and masking. On Wednesday, it launched covidtests.gov, a website that allows users to request four free at-home covid test and this week also unveiled a plan to distribute hundreds of millions of free N-95 masks through pharmacies and community sites. In a Wednesday press conference, Biden alluded to the late start, saying, "Should we have done more testing earlier? Yes. But we're doing more now."
