Beverly COVID-19 Rapid Test Distribution Set For Thursday

BEVERLY, MA — As families and friends get together for the holiday season Beverly is offering one more chance this year to pick up free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests to help keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible.

The city said the final scheduled municipal distribution of free tests for 2022 will be during a drive-thru giveaway on Thursday at Beverly High School.

Residents can get up to four boxes — two tests per box — of tests from 4 to 8 p.m. while supplies last.

Those coming for the tests should enter the school through the Sohier Road entrance.

Many expiration dates have been extended by the Food & Drug Administration. Lot numbers identifying each test are on the back of the iHealth test kit box. Please use the QR code located on the front of the box to visit ihealthlabs.com and enter the lot number in the search bar to find updated expiration dates.
