Sites will close at the end of the week.
While San Antonio’s COVID-19 numbers are stabilizing and the threat remains mild, the last control sites under contract with the city will close at the end of the week. Community Labs, the nonprofit that operates Alamo City’s COVID-19 sites, has announced that it will close the last two at Alamo Colleges’ district headquarters at 2222 N. Alamo Street and Wonderland of the Americas Mall at 4522 Fredericksburg Road on Friday, April 29.
The nonprofit administered more than two million tests from September 2020 to April 2022, according to a press release. It intensified its operations at the beginning of the year with the increase of the omicron variant.
At one point, Metro Health District reported 7704 new cases in one day. In January and February 2022, the network’s labs opened nine public mass testing sites and screened another 6,000 people per day, in addition to their ongoing testing at local schools.
Community labs stopped at schools on April 4.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s most sensible infectious disease expert, told PBS NewsHour that the COVID-19 pandemic phase is over for the United States, but the coronavirus is gone.
Metro Health reported 115 new cases on Wednesday, April 27, while the positivity rate remains low. New cases peaked at around 120 to just over 130 cases in April despite Fiesta’s return. Hospital tension is still moderate.
