CVS Health announced Thursday that it will open seven additional drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites across San Diego County tomorrow, as part of its goal to establish 1,000 testing locations across the country by the end of the month. The new San Diego County sites are among 91 slated to open across California on Friday, with the ultimate goal of processing up to 1.5 million tests per month nationwide, subject to availability of supplies and lab capacity. Patients will utilize self-swab tests in their car while monitored by pharmacy technicians, who will provide the test kit and instructions. Tests will be sent to an independent third-party lab, with results available in about three days, according to CVS Health. Patients must register in advance at CVS.com beginning Friday to schedule an appointment. A complete list of testing sites is available here. – City News Service WATCH: Mayor Faulconer Announces Initiative To Support Artists Struggling Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
