New Fairfield will be receiving approximately 17-hundred at home COVID-19 test kits containing two tests each.  First Selectman Pat Del Monaco says the purpose of this distribution is to provide tests kits to be used this week to reduce the spread of the Omicron variant and to supplement existing testing.  New Fairfield's primary focus is on the members of the public who intend to gather with others whose COVID status may be unknown. 

Additional tests will be provided to school districts in early January for use in schools.

The test kits will be distributed in New Fairifeld on Thursday from 1pm to 4pm in front of the Middle School. 

Residents are asked to enter the campus via the driveway closest to Peerless Equipment and exit from the new west side driveway.  Traffic is one way, and is marked with arrows. 

Proof of New Fairfield residency will be required, and test kits will be limited to no more than two per household.  The test kits are antigen tests used for screening and cannot be used to replace PCR testing that may be required by your employer or school. Tests will be distributed on a first come first served basis.
