Meanwhile, free at-home COVID teats are making their way to some Metro Detroit homes. However, experts warn leaving them out too long on your mailbox or porch in freezing temperatures could affect the accuracy of the tests.

Most tests have a minimum of 36 degrees for storage.

Residents are advised to track package deliveries and bring the kit inside as soon as possible.
