Testing sites across the state were inundated last week as people looked to be tested for COVID-19 ahead of Christmas.  Kent First Selectman Jean Speck says this included the weekly site set up for the northwest corner.  She notes that the lab has been working to get tests processed as they understand residents are looking for that peace of mind. 

About 24 hours after being tested, patients should receive an email to create an account in their secure portal to view results.  If the test is positive, patients will receive a phone call and instructions on what to do next.

State Representative Maria Horn got tested for COVID-19 yesterday at the weekly test site in Kent.  She said there was a line, but she was in and out in under 10 minutes. 

The weekly testing is being offered free of charge in partnership with the state. There is a required form to fill out with name, address and contact information.
