Tuscarawas libraries to distribute antigen tests
The Times-Reporter
Public libraries in Tuscarawas County are joining other libraries across Ohio in partnering with the state to distribute at-home rapid antigen test kits to the public.
The libraries requested kits from the state to distribute these self-administered nasal swab tests, which were provided at no cost by the state of Ohio through an exclusive agreement with eMed. The antigen test can provide test results in as little as 15 minutes.
Kits will be available at libraries in Bolivar, Dover, Gnadenhutten, New Philadelphia, Newcomerstown, Strasburg, Sugarcreek, Tuscarawas and Uhrichsville. Those interested in obtaining a test can call their library to arrange a time for pick up. The libraries will offer contactless delivery of the test kits through drive-up windows or curbside service.
