With its first shipment of rapid tests for COVID-19, the state Division of Public Health this weekend ran a trial drive-through to test 10 first responders and healthcare providers who had medium to high risk exposure to the coronavirus through their work. All 10 responders tested negative and were able to return to work, officials said. (Submitted photo)

The Division of Public Health (DPH) received 5,000 COVID-19 test kits that can provide results in 5-15 minutes. DPH intends to use the kits to test health care workers, first responders and residents of long-term care facilities where outbreaks are suspected, according to a DPH release.
