JaCo Public Health Receives Nearly 30k COVID Tests to Distribute

Jackson County Public Health received 29,430 iHealth COVID-19 Test kits from the OHA to distribute to the public. Jackson County Public Health has been working feverishly with community partners throughout Jackson County to ensure that the test kits would be available throughout the county, not just in one location.

“We are very grateful to the community partners that are collaborating with us to distribute the COVID-19 home test kits to the public,” states Jackson Baures, Public Health Division Manager for Jackson County Public Health. “We have partnered with community-based organizations, some first responders, and the Jackson County Library system.”

How to use a COVID-19 at-home test kit

The iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test kits can be used on anyone 2 years and older. It is important for adults to perform the test on children under the age of 15.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms –fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle pain, headache, new loss of taste/smell, sore throat, runny nose congestion, test within 7 days of feeling sick. If you are symptomatic and the first test is negative, repeat the test after 1-2 days.

If you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 and were within 6 feet of the person for at least 15 minutes, test 5 days after exposure.

These tests do not work well if you do not have symptoms or known exposure. COVID-19 tests are in extremely short supply; please use these tests only if you do not feel well or if you know you have been exposed.
