Walk-up COVID-19 testing sites open in Southern Dallas

The walk-up testing sites are outside Red Bird Mall in South Oak Cliff and outside Inspired Vision Compassion Center in Pleasant Grove.

So who should consider getting tested?

“If you are 65 years and older. If you have other chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma,” Morris said. “If you are an essential worker. If you’re working in health care, grocery stores, a DART driver, or a first responder.”

Staffers explained the process is rather simple. You’ll check in. Parkland’s staff will escort you to a temporary building set up for registration and verification. Then they’ll assist in helping you administer the self-swabbing test.

“The actual process itself is less than five minutes,” Zia said.
