COVID-19 Test Kit, N95 Mask Distribution Announced In North Haven

NORTH HAVEN, CT — The town of North Haven will distribute COVID-19 test kits and N95 masks to residents throughout the month of February, First Selectman Michael Freda announced Monday.

Freda has authorized the distribution of test kits and masks throughout the entire month of February, starting on Tuesday.

“Which means that at any point time over the next month residents can pick up their individual household allocation,” Freda said in a message to residents. “There will be two test kits offered to those residents per household. We will be doing this for the entire month of February at four of our town locations.”

The first location will be the library at 17 Elm St. from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

“This will be a walk in at the library where you will park, see our staff, and you receive your allocation,” Freda said.

Distribution will also take place at the Senior Center at 189 Pool Rd. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.

The third location will be the Community Services offices at 5 Linsley St. That will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the month of February.

“Once again, you would park there, walk in, and you can receive the test kits and the masks,” Freda said.

The fourth location will be the Recreation Center at 7 Linsley St. from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

“All we'd be asking for, ladies and gentlemen, is a proof of residency,” Freda said. “We will be tracking the households that have picked up the tests and keep a log of that. I ask that you be courteous to staff and try to arrive well in advance of the closing times. The phone number and email address that we previously published to request masks, has now been discontinued. For those residents who are disabled you can call 475-400-9411, and we'll make an ADA accommodation, will ensure that the kits and the masks be mailed to you.

“I hope this helps those of you who have had an inability to receive test kits and masks, or who can't find them in the local stores. The health and wellbeing of our citizens is of the highest importance to me, as your First Selectman, and our staff here at the Town of North Haven. Thank you very much.”
