CVS Offers Drive-Thru Covid-19 Testing
CVS is expanding its free COVID-19 testing program in California.
It’s adding 35 new test sites at the drive-thru at CVS Drug Stores.
Self-swab tests will be available to individuals meeting U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, in addition to state and age guidelines.
Patients must register in advance to schedule an appointment at
https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing.
Patients will be required to stay in their cars and will be directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window or a location in the parking lot at a few stores, where they will be provided with a test kit and given instructions, and a CVS Pharmacy team member will observe the self-swab process to ensure it is done properly.
Tests will be sent to an independent, third-party lab for processing and the results will be available in about three days.
Testing will not take place inside any of the CVS Stores.
