Most Van Buren County and Cass County residents now qualify to receive free COVID-19 tests. The Van Buren Cass District Health Department says the Rockefeller Foundation has created the Project ACT initiative, which offers free, at-home delivery of rapid tests to residents in participating locations through online ordering. Only certain cities and townships are eligible, based on a risk assessment of the location, and the department says most zip codes in Cass and Van Buren County qualify. Project ACT is a collaboration between the Rockefeller Foundation, local health departments, CareEvolution, Amazon, and at-home test manufacturers. Each order will deliver five tests and it will take one to two weeks to arrive. The Van Buren Cass District Health Department urges everyone to order some tests, saying testing is “a vital tool to combat the spread of COVID.” You can order a test here.
