Free at-home COVID-19 test kits are available at the Thrive Allen County office, 9 S. Jefferson Ave.
“With the weather cooling down and the typical cold and flu season on the horizon, we’re thinking about what COVID will look like in our community this fall and winter,” Kate Schroeder, director of communications for Thrive, said.
“This is one more tool for community members who need to make decisions about their health. The tests allow for peace of mind as we’re moving into the fall season, and people will be spending more time together indoors and in social gatherings.”
The tests can be picked up during normal business hours, as many as needed for the household.
If you are experiencing symptoms, such as a cough, call the office at 620-365-8128 and someone will deliver the tests to your vehicle.
The tests should be done at home, following directions as provided with the tests. Thrive staff cannot perform the tests for you.
The tests are provided by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Thrive staff may ask a few questions that will help KDHE better understand who is using the tests and why, but you are not required to answer in order to receive the tests.
Organizations and businesses also can request tests.
