Coronavirus Test Kit Distribution Postponed In Monroe

“We were notified overnight that the kits did not yet arrive in Connecticut and that distribution today is not possible,” First Selectman Ken Kellogg wrote in a statement. “We will announce a rescheduled distribution date once we receive more information from the state.”

The postponement is due to a hold up in the shipping process, according to Gov. Ned Lamont.

“Due to shipping and warehouse delays outside of the State of Connecticut’s control, our state’s anticipated shipment of COVID-19 at-home rapid tests are currently delayed from arriving in Connecticut,” Lamont said in a statement Wednesday evening. “My staff and multiple state agencies have spent the past several days working around the clock to accelerate the movement of our tests through what is clearly a shipping and distribution bottleneck on the West Coast amid unprecedented international demand for tests.”

Monroe was scheduled to receive 2,400 kits from the state, which was scheduled to receive 3 million from the federal government.
