AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Everlywell, a leading digital health company, today announced that the Everlywell COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit DTC is now available for broad use without a prescription, including purchase by asymptomatic individuals, retailers, pharmacies, and organizations. The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) makes the Everlywell COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit DTC available without a doctor's prescription directly to individuals who are not experiencing symptoms and who have no suspected exposure to COVID-19. In May 2020, the FDA issued Everlywell the first EUA of its kind for the Everlywell COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit, which launched to consumers in June 2020.

"One year into this pandemic, America continues to break records for COVID-19 cases and deaths. Widespread testing for COVID-19 has never been more critical," said Julia Cheek, CEO and Founder of Everlywell. "With new studies showing that over half of COVID-19 cases are spread by asymptomatic carriers, we need widespread, convenient, high-quality testing capable of diagnosing COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals to prevent further catastrophic loss of life as we begin the long process of getting America vaccinated. With the FDA's support for this new indication, we can now serve even more Americans with COVID-19 testing that's delivered right to their doors and available where they shop and work."
