As the world continues to navigate life with COVID-19, many U.S. residents are looking for ways to protect themselves and their loved ones. Home COVID-19 tests are tests you can take from the comfort of your home or anywhere outside an official testing site. Many return rapid results, providing a test result in 15 to 30 minutes. Last month the Biden administration launched their website for Americans to request at-home rapid COVID-19 tests. Many Kentuckians who signed up have received their kits, or are expecting them in the coming days.

From UK Now:
After receiving the Pfizer vaccine shipment on Tuesday morning at UK Chandler Hospital, five emergency department employees were the first to receive the vaccine about four hours later. In about a week, 1,950 front-line health care workers who either take care of COVID-19 patients or who are exposed to patients being ruled out for the virus, will receive the first dose of the two-dose vaccine.
UK HealthCare s allotment of the vaccine is among nearly 12,000 doses available in this week’s initial rollout for Kentucky’s health care workers.
