The Alamodome's COVID-19 testing site was open seven days a week when it first kicked off.
Over the past two weeks, an average of just 20 people used the Alamodome testing site daily, according to Metro Health.
The news of the site’s closure comes as the seven-day average of COVID-19 cases in San Antonio has remained below 1,000 since Feb. 18. Only 174 new infections were reported on Feb. 20, according to data from the New York Times.
Despite the declining case numbers, Metro Health still categorizes the risk of transmission in San Antonio as severe. Even so, Northside ISD — the city’s largest school district — recently reversed its mask mandate.
Metro Health still will operate other sites where residents can get a free COVID-19 test. A complete list of those is available on the Metro Health website.
