CVS Coronavirus Testing Sites To Open In Montgomery County Friday

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Three new coronavirus testing sites have been opened in Montgomery County, according to Gov. Larry Hogan, who announced Thursday that CVS Pharmacy drive-thru locations will offer testing starting this Friday.

The CVS sites will use self-swab tests for people who meet CDC COVID-19 testing criteria. COVID-19 is the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Patients must register in advance at CVS.com beginning Friday to schedule an appointment. All patients will be required to stay in their cars and will be directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window, where they will be provided with a test kit. A CVS Pharmacy team member will watch the self-swab process to ensure it is done properly.

Tests will be sent to an independent, third-party lab for processing and the results will be available in approximately three days.

The new testing sites in Montgomery County are located at the following CVS locations:

• CVS Pharmacy, 7809 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814
• CVS Pharmacy, 799 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852
• CVS Pharmacy, 12215 Darnestown Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20878

“While the large-scale test sites we’ve been operating since early April have proven successful, this new approach allows us to utilize our presence in communities across the country and bring testing closer to home,” said Larry J. Merlo, President and CEO of CVS Health, in a prepared statement. “Our frontline employees will continue to play a critical role in the testing process, with members of their communities directly benefiting from their dedication and selflessness.”
