Houston to open COVID-19 drive-through mega testing site at Delmar Stadium

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — With overwhelming demand for COVID tests during the holidays, the city of Houston is opening a new drive-through mega test site.

The new site will open Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Delmar Stadium, located at 2020 Mangum Rd., in a partnership between the Houston Health Department and Curative.

While testing is always free, you’ll need to schedule an appointment through Curative by going online or calling 1-888-702-9042 before you show up.

The site will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with an initial capacity of approximately 1,000 daily tests.

Note that the site will be closed Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.

If you want to get tested in Houston and the surrounding areas, multiple sites are available, and you can also go to CVS Health and Walgreens locations.
Remember that COVID testing is free, but you should always call ahead to verify availability, insurance coverage or make an appointment as necessary.
