Thanksgiving will be here in a few days, as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are increasing in our community. Health officials warn against large indoor gatherings. If you do insist on seeing people, HCPH recommends your group have 10 people or less and that you gather outside, where there is better air flow and you can socially distance. An additional precaution is for each person in your group to get tested now. If everyone tests negative, quarantine until the event. If anyone tests positive, they should inform the groups and skip the gathering. Testing locations are below. Most are open Monday-Saturday from 8am-3pm. Exceptions are highlighted in red. Children can also be tested at these sites. Register at www.hcphtx.org or call 832-927-7575.
