CITY OF PASADENA: Help Schools Open in September – Take Precautions and Get Tested for COVID-19

Coronapic

City Of Pasadena issued the following announcement on July 27.

 July 27-August 1, Mobile Test Sites will be in new locations.

The increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations is so concerning Harris County and the City of Houston are ordering all public and non-religious private schools to be closed until at least Tuesday, September 8 th . If the rapid spread of this dangerous virus continues, schools may be ordered to stay closed even longer. To prevent that, each of us must take the simple steps to protect ourselves from contracting the disease: stay home as much as possible, when in public wear a mask and stay 6 feet from others, wash your hands often and get tested. Testing is important because up to 40% of people with COVID-19 have no symptoms, but are still contagious. Knowing if you have the virus benefits you and your family. If you do, your provider or health department will help you understand any symptoms that may develop, advise you if you need medical treatment and tell you how to protect your family. Testing is free at Harris County Public Health’s 7 drive-through sites. Mobile sites move weekly and there are two stationary sites: CyFair at the Ken Pridgeon Stadium, 11355 Falcon Rd, Houston, TX 77065 and Pasadena, on the San Jacinto College Central Campus, 8060 Spencer Hwy, Pasadena, TX 77505. Stationary sites are open 6 days, Monday-Saturday and mobile sites are open 5 days, Monday-Saturday and closed one weekday. Due to extreme heat or storms, test sites may need to close temporarily. Sign up online at www.hcphtx.org and take the self-assessment or call 832-927-7575. Results are available in 5-7 business days. You must take the self-assessment to get an authorization code for a testing site.
