COVID-19 surveillance is changing, as key metrics – such as testing positivity rates and total case counts – have become more difficult to quantify due to at-home testing. We have linked to the state dashboard in order to remain consistent with new metrics the state is using to track COVID-19.

Catawba County Public Health is a Community Access Point for free at-home COVID-19 test kits. This adds convenience for individuals and families that need testing, but don’t want to go through the testing line or for individuals who need testing on a day when it is not offered in the parking lot outside. Results of these tests are usually available in about 15 minutes. A few guidelines for individuals who want to receive the kits:

• There is no residency requirement. Individuals do not have to live in Catawba County.
• Individuals picking up the tests must be over the age of 14.
• Individuals may pick-up up to 10 tests per person, per visit.

Tests can be used for community events. Call 828-695-5800 to make arrangements.
