The Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Houston Health Department opened Kingwood's first viral testing site for COVID-19.
The mobile drive-thru site, which is located at the Kingwood Park Community Center at 4102 Rustic Woods Drive, Kingwood, will be operational May 26-27, according to a news release from the Houston Health Department. The free viral testing site will be open from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and will accept only 250 tests per day.
Local residents must make an appointment with the TDEM before going to the site. Appointments can be made by calling 512-883-2400 or visiting txcovidtest.org.
This is the first viral testing site that has opened in Kingwood since the coronavirus outbreak began. A mobile drive-thru site operated in Humble on April 20-22 and May 7-9, a site is located in the Humble area on Atascocita Road, and there are at least two viral testing sites in New Caney. There are also several antibody testings sites in the Lake Houston area.
