SAN ANGELO, TX – The City of San Angelo has released an update on the free COVID-19 testing that will be offered by the Texas Military Department this Saturday.

Testing is only available with an appointment and the window to schedule will open Friday, May 15.

The testing center will be open from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 16 at the McNease Convention Center.

Those interested may call and make an appointment at 512-883-2400. Community members that show up to the convention center without an appointment will be asked to wait until all appointments are finished.
