Onondaga County will hold a drive-thru destribution site for COVID-19 tests and KN95 masks at the State Fairgrounds' Orange Lot on Monday, County Executive Ryan McMahon said.

The distribution will start at 9:30 a.m. and be limited to two kits, which means four total tests, per car. Masks will be given as the supply allows.

“As we focus on our recovery, we must still remain vigilant against COVID-19," McMahon said in a statement Friday. "This means making sure you are vaccinated and boosted, staying home when sick and also taking advantage of the widespread availability of testing. Onondaga County is committed to distributing tests and masks as quickly as we receive them and this drive-thru distribution is the latest part of that effort.” 

Onondaga County reported 449 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, McMahon said on Twitter Friday. About a third of those came from at-home tests.

There were no new reported deaths Friday.

"[Omicron subariant BA-2] is the dominant strain and certainly people with higher risk should utilize mitigation," McMahon tweeted. "If people need masks and or at home test kits please email testkitsandmasks@ongov.net."
