HCPL Distributes COVID-19 Test Kits Wednesday, December 15

Harford County Public Library will distribute free Abbott BinaxNow At Home COVID-19 test kits on Wednesday, December 15, beginning at 10 a.m. at all library branches, while supplies last.

One test kit (containing two tests) will be distributed per adult as supplies last. Customers are asked not to come to the library to pick up a test kit if they are quarantining or exhibiting symptoms of illness; seek advice from your health care provider.

Directions for use and instructions for reporting test results will be included with each test kit.
