Dear Neighbor,

As was anticipated by public health experts, we are currently experiencing an increase in cases of COVID-19, Flu, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), as well as other viruses. This was expected to occur following the holiday season and due to spending more time indoors as a result of the cold weather.

We are also seeing an uptick in hospitalizations as a result, and therefore, it is particularly important that we take extra precautions to protect ourselves and others from contracting these respiratory illnesses.

My office is distributing free COVID-19 at-home rapid tests and high-quality masks this week and next week. If you are running low on either of these items at home, please see below for information about the free distribution events.

Best,

Liz Krueger

State Senator

Friday, January 26, 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

My office is handing out free COVID-19 rapid at-home tests and high-quality masks this week and next week at my District Office, 211 E. 43rd Street, Suite #2000 (20th Floor), on:

Friday, January 26, 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

and

Monday, January 29, 2 pm - 4 pm

At both distribution events, my staff will hand out up to 3 free tests and 2 masks per person as long as supplies last. My district office is located at 211 E. 43rd Street, Suite #2000 (20th Floor). The building is situated between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. When you enter the building off of 43rd Street, you will be required to sign in at the reception desk. Once you have signed in, please proceed to the bank of elevators and take one of the elevators on the left side to the 20th Floor. Turn right once you exit the elevator and my office is straight ahead.

Please Note: Due to my office meeting schedule on Friday, January 26, the earliest you will be able to come pick up COVID-19 tests and masks will be 2:30 p.m. Please do not arrive earlier.

We hope to see you at one of these distribution events!
