Free COVID-19 Tests No Longer Available At Pima County Libraries
The county will instead host free test give-away pop-ups, with the first one set for Tuesday.
TUCSON, AZ — As of Monday, Pima County will no longer distribute free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests at Pima County libraries.
Over the past month, libraries in Pima County handed out around 50,000 of the tests, according to a Facebook post from Pima County.
The county attributed the distribution change to its limited supply of test kits, which has been an issue across the country in recent weeks.
