The Town of Kent has been selected as a weekly drive-thru COVID-19 test site sponsored by the State of Connecticut. Beginning today, tests will be conducted weekly from 3pm to 7pm at the Kent Transfer Station on Maple Street. Testing is free of charge and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. No insurance or documentation is needed. Results will be available through an online portal in about 48 hours, depending on lab capacity. First Selectman Jean Speck says there has been a testing desert in the northwest corner. A separate first-responder lane will be provided, around the corner from the firehouse. Testing will be conducted every Monday afternoon.
