The new sites will be operated in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The no-charge sites will expand Rite Aid’s Covid-19 testing service coast-to-coast, with new locations in California, Nevada, Washington, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland.
Like Rite Aid’s existing drive-through testing sites, the new locations will utilise self-swab nasal tests overseen by Rite Aid pharmacists and will operate Monday through Friday 10am – 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am – 5pm.
Now operating 400 total testing sites across 16 states, Rite Aid says it has adequate capacity to test symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals 13 years and older who want to be tested. 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. Rite Aid operates 2,400 retail pharmacy locations across 17 states.
