The City of Shelton will be distributing COVID-19 at-home rapid tests.

The purpose of this distribution is to provide test kits to be used this week to reduce the spread of the Omicron virus and to supplement existing testing. The primary focus is for residents who have a known exposure or are symptomatic and are unable to find another test.

The City of Shelton is getting approximately 8,000 tests and they will be given out on a first come first serve basis.

Each vehicle will receive two kits. You must be a Shelton resident and identification is required to receive a test.

The distribution will take place on Thursday, Dec. 30 at 1 p.m. at Shelton High School. Entrance to the high school will only be from North Constitution Blvd. The high school Meadow St entrance will be closed to all vehicular traffic.
