Tarrant County closes COVID-19 test sites Thursday because of possible freezing rain

All Tarrant County COVID-19 testing sites will be closed Thursday because of inclement weather.

Light rain is expected to continue overnight and into Thursday morning with a possible wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for most of North Texas through 3 p.m. Thursday. Slick roadways and bridges could impact Thursday morning’s commute, with poor conditions persisting into the afternoon, the weather service said in a statement.

An official with the Texas Department of Emergency Management, which is administering the tests, said residents with Thursday appointments should reschedule.

COVID-19 vaccine sites in the county will remain open.
