MDHHS gives COVID test kits to UP libraries

MARQUETTE, MI— Three Upper Peninsula libraries will offer free at-home COVID test kits, thanks to a partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

The department is expanding its efforts to provide the kits to underserved areas of the state through the program.

Free tests are available at the Gladstone School and Public Library, Crystal Falls District Community Library and St. Ignace Public Library. Residents are asked to take one kit per person, up to five per household. They’re available on a first-come, first-served basis.

To date, more than 24,000 kits have been shipped to 70 libraries across the state.
