TEMPE, AZ — The city of Tempe announced Thursday that all of its free distribution sites were out of at-home rapid COVID-19 tests, and it was unclear when stocks would be replenished.

The city ran out of the the free at home COVID-19 tests in a matter of hours on Dec. 21, the same day it began distributing them, according to a news release from the city. Tests were restocked the following week, prior to the city's Thursday announcement that it had again run out of the tests.
