These 8 DC libraries are getting at-home rapid COVID testing kits.

DC Health will supply the eight library branches with 1,000 rapid test kits each, per day. Residents will be able to obtain two kits per day.

WASHINGTON — In addition to the 36 sites in D.C. where you can already pick up and drop off at-home PCR tests (find that list here), eight D.C. libraries received deliveries of rapid at-home testing kits Wednesday morning. Rapid tests have been flying off shelves at pharmacies in the area, becoming the hottest item this holiday season to snag before travel.

"DC Health has also ordered 1,050,000 rapid antigen tests — 150,000 BinaxNOW and 900,000 iHealth Antigen tests," Mayor Bowser's office said in a press release. "Of those tests, 42,000 are currently on-hand and 200,000 Antigen tests are in transit to Washington, D.C."

DC Health will supply the eight library branches with 1,000 rapid test kits each, per day. Residents will be able to obtain two kits, or four tests, per day, at those locations. Proof of residency is also required to get the kits. After using a rapid at-home test, residents should report their results to DC Health at coronavirus.dc.gov/overthecounter.
