The Curative testing site located at The Recreation Center at Bear Branch Park, 5310 Research Forest Drive, The Woodlands, now offers rapid COVID-19 PCR tests, or polymerase chain reaction tests, according to Curative officials. The tests are available to the general public, and there is no out-of-pocket cost to patients for testing. The PCR test is a shallow nasal test, according to Curative.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a COVID-19 PCR test is a highly accurate molecular test for an active COVID-19 infection.
