CAMP HILL, Pa.— Rite Aid Corp. has expanded its no-charge COVID-19 testing capabilities with 99 additional drive-thru locations through its partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Rite Aid’s COVID-19 testing service extends from 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-thru testing sites, the new locations utilize simple self-swab nasal tests overseen by Rite Aid pharmacists. Rite Aid’s COVID-19 nasal tests are available for all individuals 13 years of age or older, 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, and they need to preregister online at riteaid.com in order to schedule a time slot for testing. For individuals under 18 to get screened and tested, parents or legal guardians must create Baseline COVID-19 accounts using the minor’s email account, provide consent and show their government-issued identification, and they must accompany their children to the appointment and supervise them during the test.

Now operating 400 total testing sites across 16 states, Rite Aid 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. BioReference Laboratories provides COVID-19 laboratory testing.
