• The Watertown Health Department was able to obtain a limited supply of COVID-19 Antigen test kits through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and will be able to test some Watertown residents that meet testing requirements. 

  Due to the limited supplies, we can only test individuals that have one of the COVID-19 symptoms or are identified as a close contact of a positive case. We can also only test each Watertown resident ONCE. Pre registration is required and all test results are subject to the mandated reporting and isolation requirements of the DPH. Testing  will continue on a weekly basis as long as supplies are available. All minors must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardian. Registration is required.
