Shelton changes COVID-19 test distribution time to 11 a.m. Sunday

The following message is from the Shelton Office of Emergency Management:

*Due to the change in the weather forecast, the distribution time has been changed to 11 a.m.*

The City of Shelton has received an additional 2,000 COVID-19 at-home test kits from the state along with N95 masks. Distribution of the kits and the masks will take place Sunday, Jan. 9 at 11 a.m at Shelton High School.

You must be a Shelton resident and identification is required to receive a test kit and mask. Drivers should wear a mask when receiving the kit.

Entrance to the high school will only be from North Constitution Blvd. Access to the line on North Constitution Blvd is from Shelton Ave only. The high school Meadow St entrance will be closed to all vehicular traffic.

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.
