Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Virginia, through its
partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Rite Aid pharmacists, and will operate Monday through Friday 10
a.m. - 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Rite Aid’s COVID-19 nasal tests are available for all adults,

At all testing locations, patients are required to provide
government issued identification, be at least 18 years old and need
to pre-register online at www.riteaid.com in order to schedule a
time slot for testing.
Now operating 303 testing sites across 15 states, Rite Aid has
adequate capacity to test symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals,
18 years and older, who want to be tested through online
appointments. A complete list of Rite Aid's COVID-19 testing sites

Rite Aid partners with Verily and its Baseline COVID-19 Testing
Program to provide screening, scheduling and return of results to
participants for Rite Aid testing sites.
BioReference Laboratories provides COVID-19 laboratory
testing.
Clinical oversight for the COVID-19 testing program is provided
