Several cities, towns plan to hand out COVID tests today | Connecticut News

ROCKY HILL, CT (WFSB) – People on Monday are expected to line up in several cities and towns to get free at-home COVID testing kits.

Towns offering the kits on Monday include Wethersfield, Milford, Southington, Stafford, and Rocky Hill.

The events will be like a distribution event held in Waterbury over the weekend.

Anyone planning on heading out to try and grab a test was told to be aware of a few things.

First, towns and cities across the state have received limited numbers of the test kits.

Second, they’re available on a first-come first-serve basis.

That means people should expect long lines.
