BOSTON — CVS Health announced Thursday it is doubling its drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites across the country, including 12 new testing sites in Massachusetts.
The tests involve self-swab test kits the customer uses while being monitored by a pharmacy employee. Most results will be available in two-to-three days.
CVS said in a release that there is no cost for the test and patients must register in advance at CVS.com.
A company spokesman told the Associated Press the drugstore chain is doubling its locations to prepare for a potential second wave of the virus and to be ready to deliver a vaccine, once one is approved by federal regulators.
CVS currently has 39 drive-thru testing sites in Mass. and the company said the additional 12 are set to open on Sept. 18 at the following CVS Pharmacy locations:
- 287 Springfield Avenue, Agawam
- 181 Brighton Avenue, Allston
- 207 Market Street, Brighton
- 355 Centre Street, Brockton
- 139 Endicott Street, Danvers
