Derby to distribute COVID-19 testing kits today at high school

Information shared from a Valley Independent Sentinel Facebook post this morning:

ATTN DERBY

ATTENTION:

We just received our COVID-19 testing kits from the state.

Due to the redistribution of the kits assigned by the State of CT, we only received 400 kits for public distribution.

Due to the limited number of kits, we are now asking that only people who are experiencing COVID symptoms or have had close contact with a positive COVID case come to receive a kit today.

We will be distributing the kits from 3 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. today, January 2, 2022 at Derby High School.

We will be limiting the kits to 2 kits per car. Proof of Derby residency is required to receive kits (photo ID or Utility bill).

Any questions please email:
