The Houston Health Department and its agency partners have set up new sites offering free COVID-19 tests during the week of June 8.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management and the department have opened four drive-thru test sites from June 8-13:
TDEM sites require appointments, available by calling 512-883-2400 or visiting txcovidtest.org.
The sites will open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
United Memorial Medical Center (UMMC) will continue its weekday testing at a drive-thru and walk-up test site at the Southwest Multi-Service Center, 6400 High Star, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a drive-thru site at Houston Community College-Southeast, 6815 Rustic, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The department operates two free drive-thru COVID-19 community-based testing sites open to anyone, regardless of symptoms.
The health department is providing test kits, lab access and equipment to four local Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) so they can expand their COVID-19 testing capacity.
