Becket Board of Health has a limited supply of Self-Test At Home Covid-19 Antigen Rapid Tests.

The iHealth Labs COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits can be done at home. They are a fast, easy and convenient way to test for COVID-19. The tests can be completed in 15 minutes without the need to send a sample to a laboratory. Mobile phones or computers are not needed for any part of the test. Individuals 2 years of age and older can use the tests regardless of vaccination status or whether or not they have symptoms.

Residents can also visit local pharmacies or order online to purchase rapid test kits on their own, as needed

COVID-19 rapid tests are one of many risk-reduction measures, along with vaccination, that protect you and others by reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19.

Due to the demand, residents are limited to two kits per household.

Board of Health office hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30AM to 12:00 PM.
