State COVID Testing Sites Remain Open in El Paso – Here’s Where to Get a Free Test This Week
El Paso County continues to see a ridiculous surge in positive virus cases. The county has not only set daily record highs for active COVID-19 cases for 13 straight days as of Monday, Oct. 19, but hospitalizations are also at an all-time high.
If you believe you've been exposed or are experiencing any COVID-type symptoms, or if you're just looking for some peace of mind, no-cost tests are being offered October 19 - 26 to any resident of El Paso County 5 years or older -- with or without symptoms.
Tests are being administered at a handful of county locations and three sites inside El Paso city limits. The nasal swab tests continue to be conducted by the state contractor, HONU, inside city limits and by the Texas Military Department Mobile Testing Team in the county's rural communities.
