Town of Enfield at Home Test Kit Distribution
In response to Governor Ned Lamont’s announcement to distribute COVID-19 at-home rapid tests, the Town of Enfield will hand out 5000 tests, 2 per household, during a drive thru event on Thursday, December 30, 2021 at the Enfield High School, 1264 Enfield Street, beginning at 3:00 pm until supplies are exhausted. Proof of residency will be required.
“This is happening at a perfect time to help curb the spread of COVID-19 during this heavy travel and holiday season,” said Mayor Bob Cressotti. “We hope that Enfield residents will take the opportunity to test before and after attending indoor events or upon return from visiting friends and relatives so they will be equipped to make decisions to isolate and slow the spread within our community.”
