CVS Adds 7 New Coronavirus Testing Sites In Phoenix

PHOENIX — CVS Health will open 10 new drive-thru coronavirus testing sites in Arizona Friday, seven of which will be in Phoenix.

The announcement is part of the company's push to open 2,000 new testing sites at CVS Pharmacy locations by mid-October, it said in a news release. 400 of these sites will open Friday.

“Since opening our first test site in March, we’ve been able to quickly adapt to the changing landscape in order to make it easier for people in the communities we serve to access testing,” Jon Roberts, CVS Health chief operating officer and acting president of CVS Pharmacy, said in a statement. “We recognize the critical role testing plays in helping to manage the spread of the virus and are incredibly proud of how our teams have responded to this need while continuing to take care of our customers, clients and patients.”

The seven new Phoenix sites will be located at these CVS Pharmacies:

• CVS Pharmacy, 280 North Avondale Boulevard, Avondale, AZ 85323

Additionally, the company announced one new location in Yuma and two in Tucson.

The self-swab tests are of no cost to the patient but they will be asked to register in advance on the CVS website at a pharmacy nearby. Tests are available for people age 12 and over who meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria.

The company currently estimates that results will be made available in two or three days.
