New COVID-19 Testing Locations Open in Arlington and Mansfield

October 4, 2021 – (Tarrant County) – The three new Tarrant County Public Health COVID-19 testing sites begin their first full week of operation today. The new sites, which opened over the past week include the Arlington ISD Arts and Athletics Center, the Mansfield ISD Performing Arts Center, and the Ben Thanh Market in Arlington. The sites provide the shallow nasal swab test for all ages. Advance sign-ups are seen at their appointment time ahead of walk-ups.

The two sites that opened on Friday, Sept. 10, the Northeast Annex and the Resource Center, have performed 3,195 tests in their first four weekends. 

“Home testing supplies in the community are still hard to find, so we are providing a quick and easy alternative with high quality testing at sites across the County,” said Tarrant County Public Health Director Vinny Taneja. “The best way out of this pandemic is to ensure everyone has the ability to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. It continues to be the best tool to defend against the disease.”
