Kent offered to state as host of new COVID-19 testing site in Northwest corner

As more rural communities get placed on the state's red alert list for having high community spread of COVID-19, Kent First Selectman Jean Speck says it's become obvious that there's a shortage of testing sites in the Northwest corner.  On statewide calls with both the Governor and the Department of Public Health Commissioner, Speck asked for more testing sites within a reasonable distance of rural towns. The Commissioner reported that they are looking to add some sites in the coming weeks and she offered Kent as an option.
