Free COVID Tests Available At Local Libraries Starting Next Week

HUNTERSVILLE, NC —The Mecklenburg County Public Health office received additional supply of COVID-19 rapid tests and will give them out for free at local libraries and health department locations resuming Feb. 7.

“We are pleased to be able to continue our partnership with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Library to better serve residents who are facing barriers to getting tested for COVID,” said Dr. Raynard Washington, MCPH Director.

You can get the rapid tests by curbside pick-up at the designated locations and one test will be given to you at no cost.

Tests will be available while supplies last with a maximum of four tests per household. No appointment is necessary.

Since at-home test kits do not require clinical supervision, a prescription from a health care provider is not required.
