We are getting a dozen requests a day! We are still enrolled in the state program through MDHHS but the last group of tests we received expired in the middle of September. I have sent two emails asking if current tests would be available but have not received an answer. Does anyone know the expiration dates on new orders?

We regularly request and receive OTC Covid tests from the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services. Our Circulation staff distributes up to (5) boxes per household to library patrons and local residents that ask for them, and the feedback is nothing but positive! Check out this link to see if there is an agency in your area that you can request free tests from: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=h3D71Xc3rUKWaoku9HIl0ZGH...
