MADISON COUNTY — Madison County received the second shipment of at-home test kits from New York State and plans to distribute the kits to Madison County residents on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022. The drive-thru distribution will be held in the parking lot of the Madison County Offices in Wampsville, NY beginning at 11 a.m. and running as long as supplies last.
There is a very limited supply, so each car will be limited to two test kits and you must be a Madison County resident.
Those attending the drive-thru should enter the parking lot from North Court Street in Wampsville and exit on Elm Street. It is important for residents to remember to remain in their vehicles and wear face coverings. Madison County staff involved in the distribution process will be wearing face coverings as well.
If you test positive with COVID-19 or are exposed to a positive, Madison County Department of Health has forms at madisoncounty.ny.gov for self-reporting.
A few weeks ago, Madison County received a limited supply of at-home test kits that were distributed to our village and town offices. Distribution of this second shipment is also going to our local daycares and pre-schools since children under 5-years-old are some of our most vulnerable population since they cannot be vaccinated.
Additionally, there are other locations locally where individuals can get tested for COVID-19. Please go to madisoncounty.ny.gov/2589/Find-COVID-19-Testing.
