WOONSOCKET, R.I., Aug. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In an ongoing
effort to help slow the spread of the virus, CVS Health (NYSE: CVS)
today expanded its COVID-19 testing program by deploying 77
additional test sites at select CVS Pharmacy drive-thru locations
across Florida. The opening of
these new test sites on Friday, August
21 add to the 221 locations previously opened in
Florida.
The 77 additional test sites opening across the state this week
are among the more than 1,900 locations CVS Health has opened since
May and expand the company's overall testing capacity.
In addition to increasing the number of drive-thru sites, CVS
Health has expanded its network of independent third-party lab
partners in an effort to help improve turnaround time for the
delivery of test results. Given the steps CVS Health has taken, the
majority of test results across the country will generally be
available within 2-5 days.
"Our national scale and local community presence enable us to
uniquely expand people's access to safe and effective COVID-19
testing options and respond to a need for increased testing
capacity," said Emmanuel Kolady,
Senior Vice President, CVS Health. "We remain grateful to our
frontline colleagues who make these testing sites possible and
whose dedication has allowed us to keep our stores and
MinuteClinics open for customers seeking supplies and patients who
need care."
Self-swab tests are no cost to patients and will be available to
individuals meeting CDC criteria, in addition to state and age
guidelines.1 Patients must register in advance at
CVS.com to schedule an appointment. 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.
Testing will not take place inside any retail locations, and CVS
Pharmacy, HealthHUB and MinuteClinic will continue to serve
customers and patients.
