The Town of Cheshire’s allotment of COVID-19 test kits and N95 masks has been secured from the State of Connecticut. The Town has 1,460 test kits (each containing 2 tests) available for distribution to residents. The State has prioritized this limited quantity of supplies for symptomatic or high-risk individuals and frontline workers. We encourage those Cheshire residents who have been exposed to a COVID positive individual or who are experiencing cold like symptoms, to pick up a self-test.

Along with the COVID-19 test kits, the Town has received a supply of N95 masks which will be available in this distribution event as well.

The rescheduled drive-through distribution event will be held at Quinnipiac Park (1325 Cheshire Street, Cheshire, CT 06410) on Tuesday, Jan. 4, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. or until all test kits have been distributed. Test kits will be distributed to Cheshire residents on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Each household will be allowed a maximum of two kits (four tests total) and four N95 masks; only one household representative is required.
• Proof of residency will be required (i.e. driver’s license, government issued photo identification, utility bill etc.) and must be placed on the dashboard for viewing.
• All individuals in the vehicle must be wearing a mask at all times.
