The state of Ohio is offering free at home COVID Test Kits. These at home kits are available for free from all Paulding County Carnegie Library locations. There are technical components that are required in order to use these tests.
You must have access to a Smart Phone, tablet or computer with a webcam and Internet access in order to use this test. The NAVICA app (available in English and Spanish) is required. The NAVICA app is available at the App store and Google Play at no charge. If you do not have access to these, local testing may be available at the Paulding County Hospital and Hicksville Memorial Hospital.
The at-home testing is done in collaboration with a telehealth session. Taking the antigen test includes a nasal swab and a session with a trained telehealth professional via the NAVICA app.
Additional information about the test can be found at https://ohio.emed.com/
Tests may be picked up at any Paulding County Carnegie Library location. All PCCL locations open at 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Full hours can be found at the bottom of our webpage www.mypccl.org. Our library buildings are open to the public, just stop in to request a test kit or give your closest location a call for curb side delivery.
“We appreciate the opportunity to provide these free COVID at home tests to our community.” Ellen Williams, PCCL Director.
