Town Of Deep River: Update On COVID-19 Rapid Test Kit Distribution: 01-06-2022

Press release from the Town of Deep River:

January 6, 2022 - 6:21pm

The Town of Deep River will be holding a drive through distribution of COVID-19 test kits and N95 masks on SUNDAY, JANUARY 9th from 2:00pm – 4:00pm at the John Winthrop Junior High School bus drop off area (rear entrance).

Due to the extremely limited amount of test kits currently available distribution:

will be limited to one test kit per household;

is intended for people who are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the past week;

will be on a first come, first serve basis;

will run only so long as supplies last.

Residents will be asked to confirm these criteria at pick up, and in order to receive a test kit you must provide proof of Deep River residency. 

We are hopeful that this is the first COVID-19 test kit and N95 Mask allocation of many from our State partners, and we thank them for their efforts.

Testing is not intended to be a substitute for vaccination, masking, hand washing and other safeguards from infection.  COVID-19 is very contagious; please be careful and be safe.
