Since launching in April 2020, the department reports more than 2,000 Lexington residents used the at-home testing program, which was created to provide tests for those who had barriers getting to other testing locations in the city. Testing has since become more widely accessible in Lexington.
According to the department, testing remains important during the COVID-19 response. People are encouraged to visit the City of Lexington and Kentucky Department for Public Health to learn about more options available in the community.
