A Message from Mayor Weinberg
With COVID-19 infections on the rise due to the current Omicron variant, I would like to remind you that free at-home COVID-19 test kits are available from the following sources:
Federal Government via the USPS:
Each order contains (8) COVID-19 test kits which will be delivered to your home by the US Post Office. To order, visit https://www.covid.gov/tests or order by phone at 1-800-232-0233
Over-the-counter at a pharmacy through Medicare or your insurance:
Medicare and most insurance plans now cover at-home COVID-19 test kits at many pharmacies, including CVS and Rite Aid. Check with your pharmacy and insurance company for more details.
At the Village of Thomaston Village Hall:
We have received a small quantity of at-home COVID-19 test kits courtesy of Nassau County Legislator Mazi Pilip and Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena. Test kits are available at Village Hall on a first come, first served basis. Limit one (1) test kit per household. Residents may stop by weekdays to pick up a kit
