GALVESTON, Texas (KTRK) -- As cases continue to go up in Galveston, the city will offer free COVID-19 testing to hospitality workers, thanks to the CARES Act.

This includes people who work in restaurants, hotels, and grocery stores. Hospitality workers are at higher risk of interacting with people who could have the virus.
