Easton To Distribute Free COVID-19 At-Home Test Kits Thursday

EASTON, CT — The Town of Easton will be distributing free at-home COVID-19 tests on Thursday, Dec. 30.

The distribution site is the rear parking lot of Staples Elementary School at 515 Morehouse Road.

Kits containing two tests for one person, and directions for their use, will be handed out from noon to 3 p.m., or however long supplies last.

To claim a kit, residents should be wearing a mask and present a government I.D. showing proof of Easton residency.

Residents may enter the parking lot at the main entrance on Morehouse Road and proceed to the tent without leaving their vehicle. Exit is through the Banks Road access.

Connecticut health officials announced Monday plans to distribute three million COVID-19 at-home rapid tests and six million N95 masks in the state in an effort to help curb the spread of COVID-19 during this heavy travel and holiday season.

Easton Public Schools will be receiving a supply of tests in January.
