Cobb County Government said Thursday that citizens can receive a limited supply of COVID-19 test kits on Sunday afternoon.
The county will give out 1,000 free tests starting at 2 p.m. at Jim R. Miller Park (2245 Callaway Rd SW, Marietta).
The event was rescheduled from last weekend due to inclement weather.
County spokesman Ross Cavitt said in a release that more kits are expected in a few days after being delayed to an increase in demand for tests.
The kits will be available to the public at the park pavilion, with access from Al Bishop Drive.
Cavitt said individuals will receive one kit per person, with a maximum of four per vehicle.
“With such a limited supply, the distribution is not expected to take long,” Cavitt said.
He said county officials will be working with Cobb and Douglas Public Health to distribute the additional kits later in January, at designated events and with local non-profits.
“The intent is to target residents that may not be able to go to testing sites or order kits online from the federal government,” the county release said.
