Starting Friday CVS locations across Northeast Ohio will offer drive-thru coronavirus testing.
The pharmacy giant is rolling out more than a dozen testing sites at its locations across Northeast Ohio, including in Akron, Canton and Kent.
People are guided through the pharmacy’s drive thru window, where they administer the testing swabs themselves, never getting out of their vehicles.
The tests are sent to an independent lab. Results take around three days.
In a release, CVS said it’s following CDC guidelines as far as who can get tested. That includes first responders and those who have come into contact with someone who has tested positive.
People must register in advance. The pharmacy is opening 34 testing sites across the state. The Northeast Ohio locations inlcude:
