Thanks to the Ulster County Legislator and Executive Pat Ryan the Town has received a limited supply of rapid at-home COVID-19 test kits. Each test kit includes two test per kit and are being provided at no cost to Town of Marlborough residents while supplies last.
The at-home rapid test kits will be available for pick up starting Friday December 17th at the Town Hall. Residents can pick up their kits from 9am – 3pm starting Friday the 17th and the following week of December 20th until supplies last. You will need to show proof of Town of Marlborough residency (Example: Driver’s license, tax bill, electric bill)
Anyone coming into Town Hall to pick up your free rapid at-home test kit (one per household) must wear a mask and have No Flu like or COVID symptoms. We want our employees to stay safe and healthy this Holiday season and throughout the new year.
These at-home test kits are being made available ahead of time as another level of precaution before the holiday gatherings. While these tests aren’t 100% accurate, a negative result suggest that you’re not contagious at that particular time. If after receiving a negative result you have COVID like symptoms it is suggested you take another rapid test within 24 – 48 hours or that you contact your healthcare provider to schedule a PCR long test.
What to do if you test positive with an at-home rapid COVID test:
Recipients of the free COVID-19 at-home rapid tests should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for administering the test. Anyone who tests positive should immediately isolate themselves from others. Consult with your healthcare provider about getting a PCR long test and the locations available to receive one.
