Updated: New Testing Procedures At Freeman Coliseum

One of the first measures that Gov. Abbott had in place when this outbreak happened was to have drive-thru testing immediately available to Texans. San Antonio was the first city in the country to have drive through testing and more cities across the nation followed soon after. As of right now there are 17 locations across the state of Texas.

In San Antonio the drive‑thru provider is the South Texas Medical Center for both locations. One is their actual medical center at 8431 Fredericksburg Rd. The other location where you can receive a test is at the Freeman Coliseum located at 3201 E. Houston St.

NEW TESTING PROCEDURES AT FREEMAN:

You no longer need a doctor’s recommendation to get tested for COVID-19 at the Freeman Coliseum drive-through facility.

Please note: You will still need to call to register for a test…

ALL individuals must have an appointment.

To get your COVID-19 test results, please contact the telephone number or online lab information provided on your drive-thru testing receipt.

We will update the drive‑thru testing list as information becomes available or you can check with your healthcare provider, local health department or call 2‑1‑1 for more screening locations near you.
