A health worker conducts a COVID-19 test at a drive-through testing site.

Starting Monday, only individuals exhibiting symptoms associated with COVID-19 will be eligible for testing at San Antonio's city-run test sites.

The new restriction applies to city-operated free testing sites including Freeman Coliseum and the Cuellar Community Center.

Beginning tomorrow, City-run #COVID19 test sites will only test those experiencing symptoms associated with the virus. If you think you've been exposed to the virus, you should self-quarantine for 14 days. More info on testing: https://t.co/WIQ66VmbMp pic.twitter.com/ByIN2WmKC6
