A giveaway of KN95 masks scheduled for the Wednesday, Jan. 26, COVID-19 testing clinic conducted by the Dorchester County Health Department has been rescheduled for Monday, Jan. 31, weather permitting.
The Jan. 26 clinic at the former Dorchester General Hospital will be canceled due to expected frigid temperatures with a wind chill projected in the low teens or below.
The next COVID-19 drive-through mass testing clinic is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday, Jan. 31, weather permitting. Enter on Dorchester Avenue for the testing clinic.
The Dorchester County Health Department will be providing a 5-pack of KN95 masks to the first 200 vehicles that attend the COVID-19 drive-through testing clinic on Jan. 31. In addition to the masks, we will be handing out health education materials to the first 500 people who attend.
