Each contains five tests, according to the Washtenaw County Health Department. They are delivered in one- to two weeks.

Kits are provided through Project Access Covid Tests (Project ACT), a collaborative effort by the Rockefeller Foundation, iHealth Labs, Inc., CareEvolution, Amazon and state health departments.

Communities are selected by their state based on data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Social Vulnerability Index and COVID-19 data, says the Project ACT website.

Residents can order kits online at Project ACT, or by calling 211.
