The Lincoln County Health Department is here for you during COVID-19. We strive to be a local resource for information and recommendations to keep our Lincoln County communities healthy during this time.
Free COVID At Home Test Kits
Any household in the State of Washington can order iHealth at-home kits effective Fri, Jan 21, 2022. Please keep in mind test kits could take up to 1-2 weeks for mailing. They can be ordered from the “SayYes!COVID TEST” button below.
We ask that you order only what you need for your household so that other families are able to request them as well. It is anticipated these programs will go through stock fairly quickly and will try to keep up with demand.
Lincoln County Health Department also has free at home COVID tests available.
CHANGES COMING TO WA STATE MASKING
Effective April 3, 2023 the Washington State Department of Health will end the Secretary of Health Mask Order, which currently requires universal masking in healthcare, long-term care, and adult correctional facilities for people age 5 and older.
