We received 12,000 tests to distribute to community partners.

The following types of organizations are currently eligible to request test kits: Adult foster home/adult group home  Behavioral/mental health service providers  Family childcare programs  Community corrections  Residential drug treatment programs  Senior centers  Warming shelter operators "We appreciate all the hard work our partners do to promote and protect the health of the community," continued Mason-Joyner.
