An HHS spokesperson said the private-public partnership with retail pharmacy chains will expand access to self-administered coronavirus tests.
“These sites will provide Americans with faster, less invasive and more convenient testing, protect healthcare personnel by eliminating direct-contact with symptomatic individuals and expand rapidly to areas that are under-tested and socially vulnerable,” the spokesperson said.
Executives from Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Thermo Fisher, Rite Aid, U.S. Cotton, Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp and the American Clinical Laboratory Association were scheduled to attend a White House meeting this afternoon to discuss the effort.
