25 Self-Swab Testing Sites Now Open Across
Delaware, Idaho, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia
Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) continues to expand COVID-19 testing sites
with its 25th location opening on Thursday, April 23, in Richmond,
Va., through its partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS).
Now spanning eight states and 25 store locations, all of Rite
Aid’s self-testing sites will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days
a week and expect to be able to conduct approximately 200 tests
each day through online appointments. In total, Rite Aid will have
the capacity to conduct nearly 5,000 tests daily across all
locations.
Rite Aid's newest COVID-19 self-swab testing site is south of
Richmond, VA, at 3210 Boulevard in Colonial Heights.
All Rite Aid drive-up COVID-19 testing locations will utilize
self-swab nasal tests overseen by Rite Aid pharmacists. Testing
eligibility is based on guidelines established by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which can be found here.
The testing will take place in each store’s parking lot. As part
of the testing process, people must remain in their vehicles from
the time they arrive and until they depart.
Testing will be available at no cost to eligible individuals who
meet criteria established by the CDC. 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.
Rite Aid has partnered with Verily and will use its Baseline
COVID-19 Program to provide screening, scheduling and return of
results to participants for Rite Aid testing sites.
Rite Aid also selected BioReference Laboratories to provide
COVID-19 laboratory testing to all drive-up locations with the goal
of flattening the curve through accessible diagnostic testing.
Clinical oversight for the COVID-19 testing program is provided
by PWNHealth, a national clinician network that enables safe and
easy access to diagnostic testing.
Rite Aid will continue to provide regular updates on the
company’s progress with COVID-19 testing.
