Free Covid Tests
The health dept. announced this week that it is once again providing free Covid tests. “The increase in cases informed our decision to re-up our supply,” said Sam Poyant, an administrative assistant.
According to the Mass. Dept. of Public Health, Eastham averaged 104.3 cases per 100,000 residents from June 30 to Aug. 10. That puts Eastham’s average case rate below Provincetown’s but ahead of Truro’s and Wellfleet’s.
Pick up free tests from the health dept. Mondays through Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays between 8 a.m. and noon. —Jack Styler
