There are several COVID-19 testing options in Grays Harbor County, including free home test kits.
“With the addition of the Everlywell testing option this week, Grays Harbor now has four testing options,” read a statement from Nicklaus Falley, emergency operations center information officer. The Everlywell home test kits “are for people who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and those who are close contacts of people positive with COVID-19.”
To qualify for the home tests, one must be 18 years of age or older with a valid email address, phone, and internet access. After the sample is gathered, recipients will drop off their samples at a designated UPS drop-off location. Contact the COVID-19 center at 360-964-1850 for pre-screening and instructions. This test is in English only.
