Do you need an at-home COVID test? Broward is giving more away at 3 public libraries
Broward County will hand out at-home rapid COVID-19 test kits on Saturday at three public libraries.
People who want the free kits will need to show proof of Broward residency, with a driver’s license or ID card. You can get up to two kits per household.
Each library is expected to have about 6,900 kits and will not be open for regular service Saturday to accommodate the giveaway, according to the county.
The kits will be distributed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 8, or until they run out, on a first-come, first-served basis through the drive-thru curbside lanes at the following libraries:
▪ Margate Catherine Young Library, 5810 Park Dr. in Margate
▪ South Regional/Broward College Library, 7300 Pines Blvd. in Pembroke Pines
▪ Tyrone Bryant Branch Library, 2230 NW 21st Ave. in Fort Lauderdale
South Florida has seen several at-home test giveaways in the past few days as officials try to meet a testing demand that inundated sites during the holidays, with people in Miami-Dade and Broward sometimes waiting hours in line to get their nose swabbed.
Last week, Broward gave away test kits at nine public libraries. Miami-Dade County has also held several test giveaways at its public libraries. Miami-Dade County Public Schools on Thursday also held a test giveaway for employees and students.
