We encourage members to distribute these kits equitably among their employees.

The following information is from Santa Barbara County Public Health:
"Reminder: These kits are to be distributed to the community and should not be used for routine surveillance testing of staff. The recent spike in new COVID-19 infections has been something Santa Barbara County Public Health has been anticipating and monitoring, and many of you may have noticed that testing resources are harder to come by because of this increase in cases. In an effort to make testing more accessible, we are reaching out to partners to inquire about a willingness to assist us in making take-home antigen test kits available to the community. Public Health is anticipating an increased and continued supply of take-home antigen test kits, and we hope to partner with community-based organizations, cities and other jurisdictions to help us in the distribution of these kits."

The Association has received a limited number of test kits available to Association members, free of charge. Pre-registration is required. Please note: you may not receive the number of test kits you requested. Each test kit contains two tests.
