    The new federal website, covidtests.gov, to request free test kits was set to launch Wednesday, with the first shipments going out to Americans by the end of the month.

    There were isolated reports Tuesday afternoon of problems relating to the website’s address verification tool erroneously enforcing the four-per-household cap on apartment buildings and other multi-unit dwellings. A spokesperson for the Postal Service said in a statement that the error was “occurring in a small percentage of orders.” He said any us...
