Do you think you have COVID-19? At-home tests help you find out
 At-home COVID-19 testing is one of our best tools to prevent the spread of the virus—alongside getting vaccinated and boosted. COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing infection, hospitalization and serious illness, but no vaccine prevents 100% of infections.
As the virus continues to evolve and cases are projected to spike seasonally, at-home testing helps you to determine if you have COVID-19 so you can prevent spreading it to others. In addition to getting vaccinated, boosted and wearing a high-quality mask, testing is one of the best tools to prevent the spread of COVID19.
If you need a set of four free at-home tests, please visit COVIDtests.gov To learn more about at-home testing or for a listing of testing locations, please visit our COVID-19 Resource Center.
Need more help? Call the LOU HEALTH COVID hotline at 502-912-8598, available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

 The only way to know your HIV status is to get tested. Here are some HIV testing locations in Louisville:
More donors are needed to participate in blood drive
 Audrey Nethery is 14 with a lot of personality. She is also an Internet sensation. When Audrey was 6, she showed off her Zumba moves in 2015 at a convention that was featured on the Today show. Her love of dancing has also been featured on The Rachel Ray Show.
But at just 2 months old, Audrey was diagnosed with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a rare inherited bone marrow syndrome, in which an individual’s bone marrow doesn’t produce red blood cells. People with the disorder become severely anemic and there is no cure.
You can make a difference by helping more people like Audrey who need emergency, life-saving blood supplies.
Blood donors are needed for the blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 16 at Louisville Metro Department of Public Health & Wellness, 400 E. Gray Street.
