2 Coronavirus Testing Sites Added In Anne Arundel County

Self-swab tests will be available to individuals meeting CDC testing guidelines at two CVS drive-thru pharmacies in Anne Arundel.

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Seventeen new coronavirus testing sites across the state have been opened, including two in Anne Arundel County. Gov. Larry Hogan and CVS Health announced that CVS Pharmacy drive-thru locations will be offering testing starting Friday. Additional test sites across the state will open soon.

“Following our announcement that Maryland has reached a critical milestone in its long-term COVID-19 testing strategy by dramatically expanding the availability of testing for residents, these new, additional sites are another important step to further increase testing access for communities across Maryland,” said Hogan in a news release. “We will continue working closely with CVS Health and all of our partners in the private sector, along with Maryland’s world-class health care systems and local governments, to protect residents’ health and safety and support our state’s safe and gradual recovery.”

The CVS sites will utilize self-swab tests for individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, in addition to age guidelines. Patients must register in advance at CVS.com beginning Friday to schedule an appointment. Patients will be required to stay in their cars and will be directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window where they will be provided with a test kit and given instructions. A CVS Pharmacy team member will observe the self-swab process to ensure it is done properly. Tests will be sent to an independent, third-party lab for processing and the results will be available in approximately three days.
