COVID-19 Rapid Test Kit Distribution Location Changes This Week

Published And Excerpted From Community Connections Newsletter

This week, county residents looking to score a Covid-19 rapid test kit will have a new location to pick one up from. The County Health Department and the Office of Emergency Management will continue distributing at-home rapid COVID-19 tests in partnership with the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System (PGCMLS) and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). The COVID-19 test kits are free, regardless of insurance or immigration status. County residents will be required to show proof of living in the county to receive a test kit. Examples of proof of residency include, but are not limited to, a driver’s license, utility bill, or lease agreement. One test kit, which contains two tests, will be distributed per person ages 2 years or older who are present at the time of pick-up.
