Where to Get a No Cost COVID-19 Test in El Paso This Week, Nov 2-9

With COVID-19 still very much in our community, local health authorities are encouraging everyone to get tested. Officials say it not only helps expose hotspots and track outbreaks, but 1 in 4 carriers do not show symptoms of being positive and therefore unknowingly contribute to community spread.

In response to the alarming rise in new cases and to help meet the recent high demand for coronavirus testing, the city and county have opened six new testing sites over the last two weeks. Most recently, the City of El Paso set up two new drive-thru locations; one at Memorial Park, and another at Eastwood Park (also known as Album Park).

No-cost testing is available to any resident of El Paso County 5 years or older -- with or without symptoms.

Open Daily, 7 Days a Week - 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Drive-thru testing. No appointments needed, however, once the daily capacity is met the site will be closed for the day to additional testing.
