Miami-Dade to offer free take home tests

Miami Dade County is again offering free take home rapid test kits at select Miami-Dade Public Library System locations as we continue to work to make tests as accessible as possible and to help keep our community safe. Residents can pick up test kits at eight library locations on Saturday, January 8 beginning at 7:30 a.m., while supplies last. There is a limit of up to two tests per household.

“We are doing everything possible to meet the increase in demand for testing as our residents seek to protect themselves and their families,” said Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “We continue to work hand-in-hand with the public to provide convenient access to tests and encourage families across Miami-Dade to continue taking the basic common-sense precautions that help keep all of us safe.”

Miami-Dade County has already completed distribution of approximately 225,000 take home rapid test kits through a collaboration between Miami-Dade Public Library System, Miami-Dade Police Department, and the Miami-Dade Emergency Operations Center.
