B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTI ICATION 'USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The Hawaii Department of Health aqui ed Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test Kits to provide testing
options to low income households and to rural communities that may lack COVID testing capacity. The
Hawaii Department of Health offered test kits from this acquisition to the County of Hawaii for County
employee use. The Civil Defense Agency views these test kits as viable means to provide a quick method to
test County employees who's job includes interaction with the public, The idea is to identify potential cases
of COVID-19 in the workforce in order to limit the potential exposure to both County employees and
residents seeking County provided ser rices.
