Walgreens to Expand Drive-Thru COVID-19 Testing

On Tuesday, Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) announced plans to expand a drive-thru coronavirus testing service that can provide rapid results while customers wait. The company's pharmacists will run patient samples through Abbott's (NYSE: ABT) ID NOW machines, which can provide results in less than 15 minutes.   

Walgreens opened its first drive-through testing location in March and is still finalizing plans for the next 15 locations. The company is working with the Department of Health and Human Services to select hot spots in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas.
