Rapid Covid-19 Test Kits
AVRL is assisting NS Health with the distribution of Take-Home COVID-19 rapid testing kits to our communities. Free COVID rapid antigen tests are available to pick up at the Library! Available during open hours. You can pick up a test kit any time during open hours. Find a location near you. Limited but regular supplies A new supply will arrive regularly, and each branch’s stock will fluctuate. Library staff cannot take appointments or reserve kits for you. We want you to have a safe and positive experience when picking up your rapid test kit. One kit (or bundle) per person, please. (Each kit contains 5 tests.) You may pick up a kit for others. Tests should not be used inside the Library. Are you feeling sick? If yes, please stay home and complete Nova Scotia Health’s self-assessment tool or call 811. And when you’re at your Library, please remember to remain physically distanced from staff and other community members.
