“As COVID-19 numbers continue to rise and more variants are introduced, it’s important that we provide more opportunities for residents to be tested”, said Clayton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Jeffrey E. Turner. “Although there are various testing sites throughout the county, we recognize that everyone isn’t able to travel those distances; distributing at-home test kits will help to ensure more residents can get tested.”
The giveaways are drive-up and each car can receive one kit. A valid I.D. is required to ensure recipients are Clayton County residents.
