Help is on its way for those seeking COVID-19 testing as demand surges in Tarrant County and across Texas amid all-time highs in new cases.
A free walk-up testing site will be available next week in Fort Worth.
As of Friday, Tarrant County officials had confirmed more than 12,900 cases and more than 230 deaths.
In observance of the July 4 holiday, Tarrant County officials said they would not update COVID-19 figures until Sunday.
