What is the turnaround time for CVS drive through COVID-19 test?

• Specimens are sent to independent, third-party labs for processing. On average, test results are typically available in 3-4 days, but may take longer due to the current surge in COVID-19.

Where can I get a COVID-19 test?

If you think you have COVID-19 and need a test, contact your health care provider or local health department immediately. You can also find a community testing site in your state, or buy an FDA-authorized at-home test. Some FDA-authorized at-home tests give you results within minutes. Others require you to mail the sample to a lab for analysis.
