Some drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites have closed or downsized over the last few months as vaccines rolled out and cases declined. But the highly contagious delta variant, and waning vaccination rates, has spurred a rise in infections once more. Travis County is now reporting an average of 330 new infections per day, a number not seen since February.
Whether or not you’ve been vaccinated, health officials encourage anyone with
symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, loss of smell or taste, for example) to get tested.
