Tarrant County Public Health is offering free COVID-19 testing at locations around the county on a rotating basis.
The free testing is being encouraged in addition to the county’s efforts to up Tarrant’s vaccination rate as transmission and hospitalizations from COVID-19 continue to spike. As of Aug. 5, there were 684 confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations in the county.
“If you’re not feeling good, get tested,” Tarrant County judge Glen Whitley said Aug. 3, during a presentation to the county commissioners court on the pandemic. “Let’s not forget about the testing sites.”
Free testing is being offered on Mondays at the Northeast Subcourthouse (645 Grapevine Highway, Hurst) from 8 a.m. to noon; Tuesdays at the Southwest Public Health Center (6551 Granbury Road, Fort Worth) from 8 a.m. to noon and at the Bagsby-Williams Public Health Clinic (3212 Miller Ave., Fort Worth) from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesdays at the Northwest Public Health Center (3800 Adam Grubb Road, Lake Worth) from 8 a.m. to noon; Thursdays at the Southeast Subcourthouse Arlington (700 E. Abram St., Arlington) from 8 a.m. to noon; and Fridays at the Mansfield Subcourthouse (1100 E. Broad St., Mansfield) from 8 a.m. to noon.
