At-Home Rapid COVID-19 Tests Available at the Library

The Archbold Community Library is now distributing at-home COVID-19 test kits. The tests are provided by the State of Ohio and are free to the public.

The tests are taken at-home, self-administered and can provide test results in as few as 15 minutes. The COVID-19 at-home nasal swab test has been authorized by the FDA under the Emergency Use Authorization for the detection of the proteins from SARS-CO-2 only and not for any other viruses.
