“We continue to tackle the many health barriers and inequities during this pandemic,” said Clackamas County Public Health Director Philip Mason-Joyner. “These test kits will help reduce those barriers for some of the most vulnerable members of Clackamas County who cannot otherwise access tests.”

The tests produce results in 15 minutes. The test is painless and requires a shallow swabbing of the nostrils.
