Residents may contact the Delaware County Wellness Line by phone (484) 276-2100 or email (DelcoWellness@co.delaware.pa.us) to obtain free COVID-19 at-home test kits from the Delaware County Health Department.
Beginning September 25, every U.S. household can again place an order to receive four more free COVID-19 rapid tests delivered directly to their home through the federal government at www.covid.gov/tests. Before You Throw Out "Expired" Tests: Check to see if your COVID-19 tests' expiration dates have been extended
If you have health insurance through an employer, the Marketplace, Medicare, or Medicaid, your insurance will pay for 8 at-home tests each month for each person on your plan.
