The COVID-19 testing kiosk on the Sam Houston State University campus has moved to a new location at 2424 Sam Houston Avenue, near the Charles W. Tackett University Police Building, to serve the community through the month of December. The free testing is by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., until Dec. 31 at noon. The kiosk will be closed on December 24 and 25 due to the Christmas holiday.
