Free rapid Covid tests
So far, the Chamber has saved local businesses more than $10,000 (in test costs alone) by providing free rapid Covid-19 antigen tests that have helped businesses protect their employees and stay working.
While we hope and believe the end of this virus is in sight, we are continuing to offer this service at 1519 N. Main St. for employees of its member businesses.
Please call the Chamber at 512-352-6364 to setup a time and ask those being tested to register at register.txrapidtest.org prior to their arrival.
