PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Health (SD-DOH) announced today it has completed its statewide distribution of one million Flowflex® COVID-19 at-home antigen tests. Shipping and distribution locations included both East and West River sites.
On January 7, 2022, Governor Noem announced the procurement of one million Flowflex® COVID-19 antigen home tests to be distributed free of charge to state residents. Residents can also order Vault Health® test kits, which have been available for over a year through the SD-DOH website.
Flowflex® COVID-19 antigen tests can be done at home in as little as 15 minutes. Antigen tests are reliable, and if you receive a positive result, stay home. You do not need to confirm the result through a healthcare provider or report it to the Department of Health. Residents with a positive test result are encouraged to follow the CDC’s isolation guidance.
South Dakota residents can find these tests at pharmacies, schools, public libraries, county courthouses, airports, food banks, and other publicly accessible locations. Residents should call ahead to confirm availability at locations near them.
