Curative Mobile Testing Announces Holiday Closures

Free COVID-19 testing continues to be available throughout Hays County at Curative mobile sites in San Marcos, Wimberley, Buda, Dripping Springs, and Kyle.

In observance of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, all Curative mobile testing sites will be closed on Dec. 24, 25, 31, and Jan. 1. Testing will resume as regularly scheduled on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021. 

The testing is provided at no cost to the individual and is available to anyone, whether or not they reside in Hays County.

Curative is now billing private insurance companies for test services, but there will be no out-of-pocket cost to the individual being tested. Those without insurance will not be turned away and will receive the test for free.

Appointments are recommended to expedite the process but are not required. Free testing registration is open for the remainder of December.

To make an appointment, visit https://www.curativetest.com/.  Results are expected to be available 24-48 hours following the testing date.
