Expansion to West Coast
Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) will continue to expand its COVID-19
testing capacity with the addition of 161 drive-through testing
locations opening on July 16 in partnership with the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Rite Aid’s COVID-19 testing sites will now span coast-to-coast,
with the addition of locations in California, Oregon and
Washington, and an increased number of locations in Idaho,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Similar to Rite Aid’s existing drive-through locations, the new
sites will utilize self-swab nasal tests overseen by 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,
regardless if they are experiencing virus symptoms, in accordance
with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.
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 258 total testing sites, Rite Aid will more than
double its testing capabilities, with the capacity to conduct
94,000 tests weekly across all locations. A complete list of Rite
Aid's COVID-19 testing sites can be found at www.riteaid.com.
