Available for Pick-Up at Locations Throughout the County
Starting on Monday, February 14, 2022, Schenectady County will distribute free at-home COVID-19 test kits at County offices throughout the community.
The County received the test kits from New York State and has distributed previous shipments to local schools, municipalities, daycare providers, shelters and volunteer fire departments throughout the community. A total of over 5,000 at-home test kits last were also distributed at 5 locations throughout the County last weekend.
“We want to make sure our residents have the tools they need to keep themselves safe and healthy as we continue to navigate through the pandemic,” said Anthony Jasenski, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature. “Increasing access to these free take-home tests can help residents and families know their status sooner in the event they were exposed to or have symptoms of COVID-19. Knowing your status can help slow the spread of the virus in our community.”
