Fairfield Test Kits

Dec 28, 2021 Stephen Krauchick

First Selectwoman Brenda Kupchick confirmed that Fairfield will be receiving approximately 7,710 kits to distribute to residents, 2 tests per kit. With Fairfield’s population at 61,000 residents the amount the state is providing doesn’t allow for all our residents to receive a test kit.  Therefore the Emergency Management Team felt it was important to prioritize the distribution for residents that are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone who tested positive.   We were told that we should receive the test kits Thursday morning in Fairfield, and have prepared for a distribution event for Fairfield residents. This Thursday, December 30, from 12-5pm, or until supplies last, the Town will host a test-kit distribution at Roger Ludlowe Middle School, with…
