Town officials will be discussing the distribution of the 720 Covid Kits we received from the county tomorrow. We are trying to arrange for the distribution at the Theodoreo Young Community Center this Wed or Thursday and will publicize on the website when a decision is made. The rapid tests are not as reliable as the PCR tests so if you are feeling sick this is a better option. I hope you stay healthy and safe during the holiday season and understand how stressed many people are. We expect more rapid tests to be available in the coming weeks from President Biden's initiative.
