Limited COVID-19 Tests Available

The City of College Park has been distributing more than 1,000 at-home COVID-19 test kits to City residents. If you are a City resident and would like a FREE COVID-19 At-Home Test Kit, you must fill out the reservation request form at https://cityofcollegepark.formstack.com/forms/covid19testkitrequest.

The form will be active while supplies last; once we run out for the week or in general, the form will no longer work. If and when supplies are replenished, the form will go live and be updated with new pickup dates/times. Notices about the form and pickups will be posted on our website at our COVID-19 page (www.collegeparkmd.gov/covid19). City residents can receive up to two (2) kits per household. Supplies are limited on a first-come, first-serve basis; test kits are available only while supplies last.

To reduce lines and increase convenience, residents can select a location (City Hall; Department of Public Works; and Youth and Family Services) most convenient to them to pick up the test(s). Test kits will not be provided to residents without a reservation.

All test kits must be picked up during the pick-up days/hours at the location chosen within the time frame given. We cannot make changes after the form has been submitted. Any test kits not picked up by the end of the pick-up date window will be forfeited.

For more information, or to request a kit, please visit https://cityofcollegepark.formstack.com/forms/covid19testkitrequest.
