CVS to Offer “DIY” COVID Testing; Appointment Required

At select sites, CVS Health is offering free self-swab tests to individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. Appointments are required. Currently, the only location in Prince William County is at 16712 Route 1, Dumfries, VA 22026. Depending on what area you live in, you may wish to use CVS’s locator tool to look for closer sites in a neighboring jurisdiction.

Testing must be scheduled in advance online and takes place through the pharmacy drive-thru window; no testing will take place in-store. Employees participating in the test collection process will maintain safety using personal protective equipment and follow sanitization protocols after each test.

CVS expects to have up to 1,000 locations across the country offering this service by the end of May, with the goal of processing up to 1.5 million tests per month subject to availability of supplies and lab capacity. Visit CVS online for more information, to view locations and fill out the criteria questionnaire to see if  you are eligible for testing.
