The Yakima Health District will continue to provide at-home, mail-in COVID-19 test kits for Yakima County residents on Tuesday September 15th and Thursday September 17th. Distribution will take place at the Yakima Health District on 1210 Ahtanum Ridge Drive, Union Gap, WA 98903 from 2:00pm-6:00pm on both days.

Individuals who plan to pick up at-home test kits next week should plan on using the kits that same day or the day after. Specimens must be shipped out on the same day the kit is used. The at-home test kits also require internet and email access to complete registration. Results will only be available via email in approximately three business days. If someone tests positive for COVID-19, they should expect a call from the Washington State Department of Health to begin the case investigation process.

Individuals seeking testing may also contact their primary care provider to discuss testing. If you do not have a provider, you can call 2-1-1 for help with obtaining a provider.
