That means local State funded FREE COVID-19 testing sites are out of RAPID antigen COVID-19 tests or will be out soon.

The health department advises residents try to secure rapid testing through a private provider, such as a pharmacy or primary care provider, or to purchase an over-the-counter rapid test kits from an area retailer, though many of those are out of supply, as well.

The health department advises you not use hospital emergency departments for the sole purpose of getting tested for COVID-19.
