COVID Centers to Close on March 31
COVID Center Update

Today, DC Health announced that the District?s COVID Centers will close on March 31.The decision to close the COVID Centers comes after the District has experienced a significant drop in COVID-19 cases, high vaccination uptake, and an increase in the availability of vaccines and testing kits for at-home use. Similar actions are being taken at the federal level and by other jurisdictions around the nation.

According to DC Health, the District?s COVID Centers provided residents with:


* More than one million free masks;
* More than 80,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, boosters, and flu vaccine;
* More than 400,000 rapid antigen COVID-19 testing kits; and
* Nearly 40,000 PCR tests.

Residents still have convenient options to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine, booster, or test kits, including through:


* Local retailers and pharmacies;
* covid.gov/tests [ [link removed] ] offers free at-home COVID-19 tests and testinglocator.cdc.gov [ [link removed] ] directs people to a local free testing location; and
* vaccines.gov [ [link removed] ] directs people to a local free vaccination site.

For more information on COVID-19 testing and vaccinations visit cdc.gov/coronavirus [ [link removed] ].
