Through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Health, free COVID-19 test kits are available at all GCPL branches via Contact-Free service. Abbott’s BinaxNOW is an easy-to-use antigen test that detects the virus when people are most infectious. People perform the tests at home and digital health solutions provider eMed™ delivers results to the user through the NAVICA™ app in 15 minutes.
The test kits, combined with the telehealth solutions provided by eMed™, provide access to testing for those who may not be able to get traditional testing because of work hours, mobility or transportation issues, or caregiving responsibilities.
“It is the goal of the Ohio Department of Health to make these kits widely available, and we are eager to help with that process,” said GCPL Director Ed Worso. “With Easter and other major holidays on the horizon, these tests are more relevant than ever.”
