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 until they depart.

Testing will be available at no cost to eligible individuals who meet the 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.

The company expects to have additional drive-up COVID-19 testing locations opening soon at Rite Aid stores in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, and Virginia.
