Throughout the COVID response, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) distributed more than 19 million rapid antigen tests through a wide range of partners - including K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and others - to increase access to COVID-19 testing for the public. In March 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced the end of certain federal grants directly tied to COVID response, including the grant that ODH had used to purchase these tests. As such, ODH will not be purchasing additional tests moving forward. The partnerships created around COVID-19 testing were a source of great pride during the pandemic response, and we remain grateful for all of the work you all have done – and continue to do – to keep Ohioans safe. Please contact TestingRequests@odh.ohio.gov if you have any questions.
