In a partnership between the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), Texas Military Department (TMD), the local Regional Advisory Councils (RAC/HPP Providers), the Texas Emergency Medical Task Force (TX EMTF), and the Delta County Office of Emergency Management, there is a free mobile COVID-19 testing. It will be offered again in Delta County on Monday, June 8, at Cooper ISD Elementary School’s west parking lot starting from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. This testing is part of the initiative from Governor Abbott to increase COVID-19 testing statewide. The Mobile Testing Teams will be focusing on both rural areas that have not had access to testing and identified ‘Hot-Spots,” where additional testing capability is needed to augment what is currently in place.
