SHOWN HERE are some of the 300 free COVID-19 at-home testing kits available at the St. Clairsville Public Library.
ST. CLAIRSVILLE–The St. Clairsville Public Library now has free COVID-19 at-home testing kits available for pick-up.
The Ohio Department of Health purchased 2 million at-home, self-administered COVID-19 testing kits that provide reliable results in minutes. Gov. Mike DeWine’s goal is to make these rapid testing kits available and accessible in every Ohio county, and Ohio’s public libraries have been asked to play a critical role.
The library has received an initial request of 300 kits. These tests are self-administered, and people can keep them to use as needed. The testing kit works with an app that will show green for negative test results. The green test verification can be used in different scenarios such as students returning to college, work requirements or during travel. The negative results verification is good for seven days.
