Geauga Public Health is able to provide free at home testing kits for residents and organizations in Geauga County.

Please complete the test kit request form at: https://forms.gle/xX57pueusPPkuYXr9

Due to limited amount of test kits provided by the Ohio Department of Health, only a small amount of test kit requests will be able to be fulfilled at this time. The request form will re-open once we are able to get access to more test kits.

 

Please note that the State of Ohio does not provide these tests to support regular screening testing of unvaccinated employees. For more information about Employer Testing Resources please visit: https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/resources/general-resources/rapid-covid-19-test

Achievement Letter from CDC

Geauga Public Health continues its fight against the COVID virus.  Part of that fight is looking at all defenses against the COVID virus and often one that is felt to be under represented by some is natural immunity.  Linked below you will see our recent research with Lake County regarding natural immunity to the COVID virus.
