CVS offering drive-thru COVID-19 testing at 13 Alabama locations

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WSFA) - CVS Health has opened 13 drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites across the state as part of an effort to increase testing availability in underserved communities with limited lab options.

They will use no-cost, self-swab tests. Once at the pharmacy drive-thru window, patients will stay in their cars where they will be given a test kit with instructions. CVS employees will watch to make sure it is done properly.

The swabs will be sent to an independent, third-party lab. CVS says results should be available in approximately one to two days.

Patients must register in advance to schedule an appointment.
