Free COVID Test Kits: Not a Myth!
That's right! Here in Washington state, there are a few ways to snag a test kit without putting a dent in your wallet. Let's explore these options, shall we?
The Kiosk Caper: The Washington State Department of Health (fancy, right?) has deployed a squad of trusty testing kiosks. These little guys are popping up in places like libraries, food banks, and even transit stations. They dispense free COVID-19 tests (and sometimes even flu tests!), making them a super convenient option. Just find your nearest kiosk using your detective skills (or, you know, the DOH website) and grab a test!
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3! If you're more of a classicist, fear not! Many local health departments and some pharmacies offer free testing. This might involve a swab up the ol' schnoz or a friendly chat with a healthcare professional, but hey, free is free! Check with your local health department or favorite pharmacy to see if they offer testing.
Say Yes to Free Tests (and Maybe Win a Plush Microbe?) This isn't a joke (well, kind of). The "Say Yes! To Covid Test" program offers free at-home test kits. There's even a chance to win a delightful (and hopefully not disease-ridden) plush microbe for participating. Talk about an incentive! You can find out more about this program with a quick web search.
Important Note: While some free test kit programs may be ending soon, the good news is Washington state is constantly rolling out new initiatives. So, keep your eyes peeled (metaphorically, of course) for updates!
