Mesquite Fire and Rescue; Posted by Councilman Wes Boger

At this time the City of Mesquite will be suspending the distribution of COVID-19 self-test kits as we have run out of supply. Over the last week, nearly 6,000 BinaxNOW COVID-19 self-test kits were distributed to our community via drive-thru behind City Hall. An additional 3,000 self-test kits were handed out to larger employers (those with 20+ employees). The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) is working to bring additional self-test kits to Mesquite and when those are available the City will promptly publish a distribution process and schedule. Again, we would like to thank all those who assisted in the distribution particularly the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and Mesquite Police Department (MPD) volunteers.
