Please be advised:
Some of our contracted COVID Case Investigators are calling from a 415-869-8360 number (which shows as a California number). We are working on a way to have it show as our agency. But until then, if receiving a call from this number, it is NOT a scam. Please feel comfortable to answer as they are calling to help.
Coshocton County COVID-19 Home Test Kit Distribution
Those exposed to someone who has tested positive should self-quarantine, watch for symptoms and take a COVID test within five to seven days, sooner if symptoms show up.
COVID-19 home test kits are covered under most insurance and can be picked up at your local pharmacy. Due to increased demand for home tests and to assist those unable to obtain home tests through their pharmacy, the Coshocton County General Health District is partnering with the Coshocton Public Library to boost home test kit availability via their curbside pickup only service Mondays – Saturdays at both of these locations, first come, first served:
