KILLEEN, Texas (Feb. 8, 2022) – The City of Killeen has worked with partners to provide two, free COVID-19 testing centers this week. The sites are as follows:

  • Family Aquatics Testing Kiosk (1700 E. Stan Schlueter Loop, Killeen): Tuesday, Feb. 8 – Saturday, Feb. 12 from 8a.m. - 6p.m. (cur.tv/Killeen for appointments)
