North Central Public Health District has distributed about 1,500 free home COVID-19 test kits to a number of entities in Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties to be given out to the community.  They are available at libraries, senior centers, and public health clinics.  People eligible for at-home test kits are those who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to a positive case.  Each test kit contains two tests, and people are asked to only take enough kits to have one test per person.  They are not intended for screening purposes such as travel or event attendance.  Test kits are also available for the public at the North Central Public Health District office in The Dalles.  Call 541-506-2600, and select the testing option to request a home test kit.
