Philadelphia is looking to stop super spreader events before they start by giving out COVID-19 tests in bulk to anyone planning a special event.
The city is now offering free rapid test kits to organizers of all sorts of events: from proms and graduations to funerals and weddings. They’ll get two at-home tests for each guest if they’re approved: one test to take before attending the event and the other to take afterward.
Organizers are urged to apply as soon as possible because it may take up to two weeks to review applications and distribute tests, the health department noted. If applications are approved, organizers will need to distribute the tests in the manner described in their application.
