Hanover, MD (December 21, 2021) - Anne Arundel County announced changes to test kit distribution locations and hours, as demand for the free rapid at-home test kits provided by the County surged.
“I want to thank our staff and our public and private sector partners for helping make these test kits available across the county,” County Executive Steuart Pittman said. “To keep you and your loved ones safe this holiday, please - get tested. Get vaccinated. Get boosted.”
The County began providing free rapid at-home test kits today, distributing the kits at a variety of public and private sector locations across the county. With demand surging, the County announced changes to locations and availability, as supply remains very limited.
