The drive-thru sites are typically open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Self-swab tests are available to those who meet federal and state criteria. Patients must stay in their cars. A CVS Pharmacy employee will provide the kit and give instructions. The tests are then sent to Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) for results, which CVS said would be available in about three days.

Patients must register for an appointment before coming to a site.
