Town offices in Bridgewater, Killington, Ludlow, Plymouth and Pomfret will receive 1,000 free Covid tests by the end of the week.
The Ludlow Fire Dept. and First Stop Ski Shop in Killington will also have some available.
Maxwell Elles, the director of Bridgewater’s FAST Squad, received 5,000 free Covid tests from the federal stock that he began distributing last week. They are new tests that expire in 2025, he said.
“They are entirely free for anyone who wants them. It’s recommended that one household have as many as 40. Most people take only a few tests,” he said.
The town offices have all been happy to receive the tests and to become a pick up location for them while supplies last, he added.
