CVS To Offer Drive-Thru Coronavirus Testing In Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, PA —CVS will begin drive-thru coronavirus testing at nine stores in Pennsylvania on Friday, including two in the Pittsburgh area. Testing will be available at the CVS locations on Duncan Avenue in McCandless and on William Flynn Highway in Hampton.

People seeking to be tested should register on CVS.com to schedule an appointment. Those getting tested will stay in their cars and use the store's drive-thru window to receive the self-swab test kit. Tests will be sent to a lab for processing, with results available in about three days.

“We are grateful for CVS’s partnership in combating COVID-19 by bringing more testing options to our communities and working to further understand the presence of the disease,” Gov. Tom Wolf said in a release. “We look forward to working with CVS to implement our comprehensive testing strategy, which will serve as a critical aspect of Pennsylvania’s phased reopening.”

CVS will have close to a thousand testing locations across the country open by the end of May.
