Pennsylvania and Virginia
Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) continues to expand COVID-19 testing sites
with 21 additional drive-through locations opening Thursday, June
11, 2020, through its partnership with the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
Similar to Rite Aid’s existing testing sites, the new locations
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 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.
Rite Aid’s 92 locations will have the capacity to conduct nearly
47,000 tests weekly across all locations through online
appointments. A complete list of Rite Aid's COVID-19 testing sites
can be found at www.riteaid.com.
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 has
selected BioReference Laboratories to provide COVID-19 laboratory
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.
