USPS is doing another round of COVID-19 test kits! Get ’em for free here.

Additionally, your local pharmacy can supply you with up to 8 free test kits (That’s 4 Binax boxes, for example) within a rolling 30 day period on MOST insurances (Anthem tends to prefer you to purchase kits outright, and then submit the receipt). You can either check their website, or go in and ask, and they’ll be able to handle that for you. Just remember to be patient, pharmacy people are very tired and frazzled right now!

Positive testing is going to be common for social events in the foreseeable future and doing your part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and keep yourself safe and healthy. While there is a risk of sickness in hosting public meets like this, we still encourage them to continue to happen. This decision may change if the CDC changes their outlook or if there is a newer, more dangerous, strain of COVID-19 that comes to light.

If you have any questions, concerns, or need help finding testing materials or labs that do testing; please reach out to @Spadge_Draconia or @adminlist (in the Maine Furs Chat) in general.

Hey everybody!

Just a reminder that if you went to PortCon, are attending AnthroCon, or have been to any other group gathering to test yourself for COVID-19! Even if you don’t feel sick or have symptoms, asymptomatic spread is easy. Keep friends/family/yourself safe as the pandemic continues on.

The at-home tests are (relatively) reliable and widely available at local pharmacies. The test kits DO have an expiration date on them, so make sure your kits are in good condition and within their “best by” date. If you are having trouble sourcing them, reach out to any of the admins and we’ll make help you get squared away.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to ask the admin team on any platform. Stay safe!
