Some Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy locations are now ready to test people for COVID-19 and treat those who test positive with antiviral medicine. It is part of the White House’s “Test-to-Treat” initiative.
Pfizer’s antiviral pill is for people 12 and older, while Merck’s is for adults only.
Anyone who tests positive in those age groups can be given the medication to take at home. The treatment works best when taken within a few days of the start of symptoms. To find a participating location, people will be able to visit a Test-To-Treat website once it launches this month.Most Read
