A mobile test collection site for COVID-19 is coming to Liberty County on Sunday, May 3. The site will be set up from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Liberty Fire Department, 1912 Lakeland St., Liberty.

All persons being tested will remain in their vehicle throughout the process. Cones will be placed in the fire department parking lot to direct the flow the traffic. Officers with Liberty Police Department will assist.
“The test results will be available in 6-7 days,” said Liberty Fire Chief Brian Hurst.
Only 250 tests are expected to be available, so persons who are interested should call the DSHS number above promptly or register online at txcovidtest.org. If you are one of the registrants, keep your registration number with you as you will need to present it on the day of testing.
Hurst said the goal is to have more mobile testing sites available in the coming weeks.
After all this time they finally decide to test Liberty County, but only in Liberty and only one day. A lot of good that does. Next election we need to remember the lousy job our elected officials have done in this state and county.
You’re exactly right
I feel the same here in Tarkington. We deserve better from our elected officials. It took me weeks to find out where to find information on the COVID-19, and that is just wrong. Radio would have been easy to do and a publication of some sort. Just down-right disgusted with this field of officials. They seem to want the positions as long as they don’t have to actually do any work.
