A temporary mobile coronavirus testing site will be set up in Fort Worth Friday and Saturday.

The drive-through site will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day at the Miller Avenue Government Center, 3500 Miller Ave.

Tests at this site are by appointment only. To register for a test, visit txcovidtest.org or call 512-883-2400.

Tarrant County Commissioners unanimously approved this location Tuesday.

This testing site is being operated by the Texas Division of Emergency Management, which is using a team from the Texas Military Department to conduct the COVID-19 tests.

Officials say this is an “ideal” testing site because it is near several ZIP codes most affected by COVID-19.
