Fort Bend County announced the opening of a second county-run coronavirus testing site in a press release Monday. The county continues to operate its testing location in Rosenberg.
This drive-thru testing location in Sugar Land is free to residents, as the county is paying all fees related to the tests, according to the release. The testing facility is open Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sat. 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
“I am pleased that we now have two community testing sites available for county residents,” County Judge KP George said in the release. “We expect that the increase in testing capabilities will help everyone better protect themselves and their families and flatten the curve here.”
Residents do not need to be experiencing symptoms to be tested. However, they must first sign up online to be prescreened by a representative. Prescreening is also available to residents without internet access over the phone Mon.-Fri 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sat. 8 a.m.-noon at 281-238-2363.
