COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits

Nova Scotians are now able to pick up free COVID-19 rapid test kits at all public libraries across the province during the holiday season.  Millbrook band and community members can also pick up rapid tests at the health centre until 11:45 a.m. on Friday, Dec 17th, and then again starting January 6th, 2022. 

Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, said in a news release that the availability of home rapid tests gives people another option to help make Christmas gatherings safer in the time of COVID-19.

"Doing a rapid test can add an extra layer of protection if you're hosting or attending gatherings," he said.

The at-home tests are recommended for those aged three and up. 

According to the province, anyone with a positive rapid test should self-isolate and book a PCR test at a testing site to confirm the result.
