NVHD Issues Reminder About Home Test Kits

The following information was distributed by The Naugatuck Valley Health District on May 4.

Follow the organization on Facebook and Twitter.

We are currently seeing a rise in cases both locally and across the State of Connecticut. With Mother’s Day approaching, we want our residents to know that they can obtain a free home test-kit from our office. 

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, test yourself immediately. 

If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19, test yourself at least 5 days after your exposure. 

If you test negative for COVID-19, consider testing again 1 to 2 days after your first test.We strongly encourage our residents to report positive at-home results using this link: https://forms.office.com/r/HRKcY2JkVT.

These voluntary and confidential reports will help NVHD establish a more accurate understanding of COVID-19 case rates within the Valley and help assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. 

If you have general COVID-19 questions, use ext. 116 or 118 or call our hotline 475 – 675-5733 during after-hours. 

Please be aware, we are doing our best to contact everyone and ask that you give us 1 – 2 business days to contact you or return your call.

Sincerely,Naugatuck Valley Health District Contact Tracing Team
