November 26, 2023 - Mariposa County Library officials announce that starting on Monday, November 27, the library will have free COVID-19 test kits for the public. Later next week, the branches of the library will also have these tests available.
Key things to know:
- COVID test kits are for at-home use.
- One kit per family member; each kit contains two tests.
- Available while supplies last.
- Library card not required.
- If you are experiencing symptoms, please try to send someone in your place to pick up the kits, to avoid getting library staff sick.
The test kits were provided by the state free of charge for the library to distribute. It is encouraged that tests are prioritized for those people who are uninsured, underinsured, or have poor access to medical care (including Medicare recipients, and those who are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease), but tests can also be distributed to anybody that requests them. No questions about your insurance coverage status will be asked.
Insured? People can get 8 FREE or reimbursed tests each month through insurance (details vary, contact your plan).
