With the return of August heat and daily temperatures now approaching 100 degrees, Tarrant County Public Health reminds residents to avoid heat-related illness.
“The risk of heat injury or death is at its worst when high temperatures continue over multiple days,” said Public Health Director Vinny Taneja. “People suffer heat-related illness when their bodies can’t compensate and properly cool themselves. Natural cooling occurs when people sweat, but under some conditions, sweating is not enough, and a person’s body temperature rises rapidly.
“While the elderly, young children and people dealing with chronic ailments are usually the first to suffer from the heat, I urge everyone to take precautions,” Taneja said.
Among those precautions:

The City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County are expanding COVID-19 testing for residents throughout the city.
Tests will be available at these locations:
Tests will be available at these locations for one day only before the test site moves to a new location.
Tests will be available from 8-11 a.m. and 2-5 p.m. daily. Tests at all sites are available by online appointment. Residents who do not have access to a computer may call 817-248-6299 to schedule an appointment.
“Fort Worth will continue to collaborate with partners to ensure COVID-19 testing is readily available and accessible to all residents throughout all of Fort Worth,” said Mayor Betsy Price. “Testing plays a critical role in our continued efforts to prioritize public health, keep Fort Worth’s economy open and get our children back in school.”
In coming weeks, additional sites will be added as suitable locations are identified.
“It is vitally important that we bring more testing to Tarrant County,” said Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley. “We’re excited to expand our partnership with the City of Fort Worth to add more testing across the county, making it easier for residents to get tested.”
The city’s emergency response volunteers will continue to staff two COVID-19 testing sites, which are currently open:
City staff from Police, Fire and Code Compliance departments, along with certified city volunteers for emergency response, are staffing the sites and guiding patients through the self-administered saliva sample collection process. Tests are offered at no cost to the public; however, insurance information is collected, where possible.
