HOME TEST KITS WILL BE AVAILABLE SATURDAY, JAN 8th

The Town of Bethel has received a second shipment of COVID19 rapid home test kits and will make them available to town residents on Saturday, January 8, 2022, from 11am-1pm on Whittlesey Drive in the Bethel Schools Campus. PLEASE ENTER VIA PLUMTREES ROAD ONLY.

Once again, the supply we received is limited. We will provide one kit per household on a first come first served basis until supplies are gone. Each kit contains 2 tests.

Please note, due to the limited supply, we are providing kits to those individuals experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or who were likely exposed to someone who is COVID positive.

Please plan to arrive at or after 11am. Bethel Police will be on hand to make sure vehicles are not queuing up on Whittlesey Drive or on the school campus before the site opens.

Please wear a mask while picking up your kits. If you have been exposed to someone that has tested positive for COVID or are experiencing COVID symptoms, we urge you to test to help reduce the spread. Please- allow those that fit this need the ability to get a test from the Town. If your COVID test is positive, please follow the CDC guidelines for isolation.
