Area testing sites adjust hours due to decline in Covid-19 testing demands

EL PASO, Texas - The City of El Paso said beginning March 7 the mega testing sites and the convention center site will adjust their hours of operation.

The County Sports Park mega site will operate Monday through Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The El Paso Convention Center will be closed on Sundays and will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

For those who need to get the Covid-19 vaccine, the convention center site and the city's Covid-19 clinics are now taking walk-ins. Those wanted to go at a particular time, you can set up an appointment at www.epcovidvaccine.com.

All clinics are open from 8 a.m. to Noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
