Rite Aid expands no-charge COVID-19 testing

CAMP HILL, Pa. — Rite Aid is further expanding its no-charge COVID-19 testing capabilities with 60 additional drive-through locations that are opening on Friday.

Rite AidThe company also said Thursday that it no-charge testing will also now be available for children ages four and older at all new and existing drive-through testing sites. Previously, testing had been available to individuals 13 years of age and older.

The new locations, developed through Rite Aid’s partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will increase the drug chain’s capacity for COVID-19 testing services in California, Washington, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Maryland.

Like Rite Aid’s existing drive-through testing sites, the new locations will utilize simple self-swab nasal tests overseen by Rite Aid pharmacists and will operate Monday through Friday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Rite Aid’s COVID-19 nasal tests are available for all individuals four years of age and older, regardless if they are experiencing virus symptoms, in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.

At all testing locations, patients are required to pre-register online at www.riteaid.com in order to schedule a time slot for testing. Individuals ages 4-18 may access testing with parent or legal guardian consent, and attendance and supervision of the minor at the testing appointment with a photo ID. For children ages 4-12, a parent or legal guardian will create a Project Baseline account and follow the steps to indicate who the test is for. For children ages 13-17, creation of a Project Baseline account should happen only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
