COVID-19 Test Kit

No-Cost COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit for Rosemead Residents (Limited Supply Remaining)

On August 24, 2020, the City of Rosemead started the no-cost COVID-19 test home collection kit program for residents showing symptoms or having possibly been exposed to someone with COVID-19 to protect the health and welfare of Rosemead residents and as a preventative measure on spread of the coronavirus.  The test collection kit eligibility is determined following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. 

Currently, there is a limited supply of the test home collection kit remaining.  Inactive requests are being closed to increase inventory and kits not picked-up are being made available for new requests.
