Unique opportunity
For those who may have missed this bit of news this week, I’d like to flag an interesting new program for Hamilton County residents who are interested in monitoring whether they’re COVID-19 positive, while participating in important public health research. The details are listed in the story below, but in summary, 40,000 Hamilton County households can now obtain free, rapid, at-home COVID-19 test kits for their families. The program is the first of its kind in the United States and encourages residents to use the tests three times a week, regardless of symptoms, in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19 throughout the community.
Stay healthy,
