CVS opens 27 more COVID-19 testing sites in Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- CVS will offer testing Friday at another 27 locations across Pennsylvania, including one on West Oregon Avenue in South Philadelphia.

Patients must register online to book an appointment and meet CDC criteria to take the self-swab test.

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.
