COVID-19 tests in Austin-Travis County hard to find heading into holidays

TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — A day after health leaders promoted free at-home COVID-19 test kits through Travis County, the county says the system was "overwhelmed" and tests are now gone.
The county reported roughly 1,300 test kits were passed out in less than 24 hours Tuesday into Wednesday. The program was originally intended to be a by-appointment test pick-up for residents, but demand was so high, kits at some locations were ultimately being given on a first-come-first-served basis."
