Newtown Square CVS Offering Drive-Thru Coronavirus Testing

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — CVS is expanding its coronavirus testing availability by adding 27 more drive-thru testing locations across the state, with one being in Newtown Square.

The CVS Pharmacy at 3930 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square is among the new locations.

The testing sites will use self-swab tests and mark the next phase of the company's nationwide coronavirus testing strategy.

Patients must register in advance at CVS's website here beginning Friday to schedule an appointment.

Patients will be required to stay in their cars and directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window where they will be provided with a test kit and given instructions; a CVS Pharmacy team member will observe 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.

Other testing sites in Delaware County are at 795 Baltimore Pike in Springfield, 1937 MacDade Boulevard in Folsom, and 5001 Township Line Road in Drexel Hill.

The test sites in Pennsylvania are part of the first rollout of new sites, which includes 51 locations in Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

Self-swab tests will be available to individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention criteria, in addition to age guidelines.

Testing will not take place inside any retail locations, and CVS Pharmacy, HealthHUB and MinuteClinic will continue to serve customers and patients.
