Approximately 105,000 test kits were found to be invalid, and authorities say roughly 4,000 invalid test kits were distributed through the Department of Public Health.
"One of the most important things that Philadelphians can do to prepare their families for the fall and winter COVID season is to have at-home testing kits on-hand," said Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole. "It's important to have faith in those tests, so we want to make sure that every test out there is valid and correct."
Now, officials say they are conducting a full inventory check of all COVID-19 tests in stock to ensure they are valid. They are also developing procedures to confirm lot numbers and expiration dates.
