New Orleans' take-home COVID test giveaway was supposed to last until 4 p.m. Wednesday and continue into Thursday, but it ended less than 90 minutes before it began.
Beginning 8 a.m. Wednesday, COVID tests were available at four fire stations across New Orleans, but they ran out by 9:15 a.m., New Orleans officials tell WWLTV's Erika Ferrando. More than 1,700 take-home COVID tests were given away between the four locations, officials said.
