YORKTOWN, NY — Yorktown officials will distribute 1,000 home COVID-19 test kits Saturday at the Jefferson Valley Mall.
Recipients must present valid identification proving that they are Yorktown residents. There is a one-kit limit per vehicle.
“These home kits are the latest effort we’ve taken to keep residents safe,” Town Supervisor Matt Slater said in the announcement. “Many of us have seen the news reports about the scarcity of these kits, so we hope our residents who really need them will visit us Saturday.”
