Testing plays an important role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. In addition to a variety of testing sites located throughout the state, free at-home test kits are available through the Federal USPS Testing Portal or the DOH Say Yes! COVID Test Portal while supplies last. Recently, free test kit resources have expanded accessibility in more languages and reduced barriers for those who are blind or low vision.
