As part of its collaboration with Verily, Rite-Aid will leverage its Baseline Covid-19 Program for screening, scheduling, and results returning to participants at its testing sites.

The company is planning to open additional drive-up testing locations at Rite Aid stores in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, and Virginia in coordination with HHS.

Additionally, Rite Aid has selected BioReference Laboratories to provide Covid-19 laboratory testing to all drive-up locations.

The company recently launched testing sites with new locations in York and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.

Earlier this month, US drugstore chain Walgreens also planned to extend its drive-thru testing to 15 new sites in seven US states to help fight the pandemic.

Confirmed cases on coronavirus have breached two million marks globally while the death toll stands at 145,563.
