Free Covid test kits available

Submitted by San Juan County Department of Emergency Management

San Juan County Health and Community Services has been able to secure an additional 3,000 plus at-home COVID test kits and will be making them available to islanders at no charge.

Thanks to the support of the local non-profits and businesses listed below, kits will be available for pick up beginning later this week. Islanders may obtain one kit for every member of their household over the age of three, with a limit of four per family. Local business owners may pick up one kit per employee, with a limit of ten kits per business.

If you picked up kits during last week’s distribution, please allow for those who have not yet obtained kits to access these. Kits will be available while supplies list. Kits need to be used by July 17.
