Williamson County and the Williamson County and Cities Health District are offering a public testing site to increase the ability of county residents to get a coronavirus test, according to an April 27 news release.
The site is for people who are experiencing coronavirus symptoms; however, this test does not require a visit with a physician and is free of charge. Individuals must first take an online assessment based on screening criteria from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the release said.
“We are offering this new testing option for our county residents who do not have the ability to visit with their personal doctor or go to another testing site to be tested,” County Judge Bill Gravell said in the release.
An online screening tool will be used to assess if someone is eligible for a test based on CDC criteria. The online assessment tool will be available April 27 by going to www.wcchd.org/COVID-19/testing.php, the release said.
