Kroger is joining the front lines by providing free COVID-19 testing to individuals who are symptomatic, first responders and health care workers.
The free mobile drive-thru testing sites operate in 13 states across the U.S. There are currently seven testing sites in Texas with five of those being in the Houston area.
You must take a COVID-19 assessment online before getting tested at one of the sites. You can access the assessment tool here.
Once the site determines you need to get tested, you will be asked to schedule an appointment and choose a testing location near you.
You will be asked to activate a patient portal where your results will be delivered.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to bring your I.D. with you in order to get tested.
