The Revere Department of Public Health received a large shipment of COVID-19 rapid tests to distribute to Revere-based organizations and residents. Residents have multiple options to pick up self-test kits, and the Department of Public Health stresses certain eligibility concerns. To obtain a kit, you must be a resident of the City of Revere (proof of residency required). Residents should be aware that these kits are first come first serve, limit of 2 kits per person, and there will be no ability to reserve or deliver. Please note, vulnerable populations such as the elderly, homeless, and veterans will also be receiving self-test kits through various organizations – this distribution is specifically designed for the general population.
