Accept from the Hawaii Department of Health a donation of 8,000 Quidel Quick Vue C VI -19 Home Test
Fits valued at $11.39 each for a total of$91,120.00. The kits are packaged two to a box. I
13. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED
The Hawaii Department of Health aquired Qui el QuickVue COVID-19 test kits from the Federal Government
through the Health Resources &Services Administration COVID-1 9 Testing Supply Program for distribution
in communities free of charge to the end user. The target audience is low income households and rural
communities where testing options may be limited. 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 a viable means to provide a quick method to test County employees who's job includes
interaction with the public. The idea is to be able to identify cases of CVID-1 9 in the workforce in order to
limit the potential exposure to the Caronavirus of both County employees and residents seeking County
provided services. Civil Defense will account for and distribute these test kits to County Departments.
