Curative Mobile Testing Announces Holiday Closures

DATE/TIME: Dec. 24, 25, 31, and Jan. 1 

LOCATION: Curative Site at the Hays CISD Performing Arts Center, 979 Kohlers Crossing 

KYLE, TEXAS – Free COVID-19 testing from Curative is still available at the Hays CISD Performing Arts Center, 979 Kohlers Crossing, daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. But in observance of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, all Curative mobile testing sites throughout Hays County will be closed on Dec. 24, 25, 31, and Jan. 1.  

The testing is provided at no cost to the individual and is available to anyone, whether or not they reside in Hays County. Curative is now billing private insurance companies for test services, but there will be no out-of-pocket cost to individuals being tested. Those without insurance will not be turned away and will receive the test for free. 

Due to increased volume, appointments are required, and walk-ups will no longer be accepted. To make an appointment, visit Curative's website. The test uses painless self-administered cheek swabs. Results are expected to be available 24-48 hours following the testing date.
