Supervisor Coggs-Jones Applauds Expanded Access to Free COVID-19 Self-Tests
MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has launched an online program for Wisconsinites to get free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests delivered directly to them. County Supervisor Priscilla E. Coggs-Jones made the following statement.
“The Covid-19 crisis is still a priority. I would like to reiterate to residents the availability of free COVID-19 test kits. Testing yourself is the easiest way to ensure that you aren’t putting others at risk unintentionally,” said County Supervisor Priscilla E. Coggs-Jones. “My thanks go out to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services for their incredible work in rolling out the Say Yes! COVID Test website. They are just another tool available to residents for free to help improve public health.”
Wisconsin residents can go to the Say Yes! COVID Test website and place an order for a package of five rapid antigen COVID-19 tests at no cost. Initial supplies will allow each household to order one package that will arrive in 1-2 weeks.
The Say Yes! COVID Test program is funded in part through the American Rescue Plan and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funds.
