COVID-19 Test Kits Available To San Marcos Businesses

San Marcos — The San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce is offering free BinexNow rapid COVID-19 test kits to small businesses in a program created by Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM).

“We are excited about this opportunity for our business community,” said Chamber President Jason Mock. “Our goal is to provide a solution to small businesses and help them manage COVID-19 exposure.”

The COVID-19 Rapid Testing Program was announced by Governor Abbott on Friday, January 22, 2021.

Participating businesses will be required to complete training on proper testing protocols, report the results of every test, create a process for employees who test positive, and use at least 70 percent of the test kits.  

Businesses will be allowed to request packages of 40 tests. Each test provides results to individuals in approximately 15 minutes.

“We are committed to doing all that we can to help our business community thrive and survive through this pandemic,” said Mock.

There is a limited number of test kits available. If a local business is interested, please visit SanMarcosTexas.com to review the program protocols and complete the rapid test kit interest survey.
