This is an update to an earlier article. According to this information from the County, many locations have been eliminated including the libraries. We are trying to determine if the libraries are still a distribution point.
“I want to thank our staff and our public and private sector partners for helping make these test kits available across the county,” County Executive Steuart Pittman said. “To keep you and your loved ones safe this holiday, please – get tested. Get vaccinated. Get boosted.”
The County began providing free rapid at-home test kits today, distributing the kits at a variety of public and private sector locations across the county. With demand surging, the County announced changes to locations and availability, as supply remains very limited.
Kits will be distributed while supplies last, with a new limit of two boxes per household. County officials urged residents not to call emergency service lines or fire or police districts directly – all kits are offered while supplies last, and kits will not be held or reserved.
The locations for distribution are as follows:
- Maryland Live! Casino and Hotel, 7002 Arundel Mills Circle, Hanover. Kits will be distributed from 12pm- 5pm starting Wednesday, Dec. 22 through Friday Dec. 24, while supplies last.
