A temporary testing site opened near the American Airlines Center to provide COVID-19 tests for those who’ve been protesting police brutality. Officials at Parkland Hospital and Health System told local newspapers that the protesters qualify for a federally subsidized coronavirus test because Dallas County has classified them as high risk for exposure.
Parkland will tentatively shut down the drive-through testing site at American Airline Center this afternoon – and again tomorrow afternoon – to provide testing for protesters at a walk-up site nearby. That site is expected to open at 2 p.m. today.
