El Paso COVID-19 Testing Extended With Shorter Wait Times

The State of Texas has extended testing with shorter wait times at three El Paso locations through Saturday, August 29.

Testing dates have been extended for COVID-19 testing and wait times have improved, lasting between 15 to 30 minutes. The best time to get tested with shorter wait times occurring in the afternoon. Testing is available 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
