Drive-thru testing sites have become increasingly popular as a convenient and efficient way to get tested for Covid-19. These sites allow individuals to remain in their vehicles while they are tested, eliminating the need to wait in long lines or sit in a crowded waiting room.

These kits can be ordered online and delivered directly to your home, allowing you to collect a sample in the comfort and privacy of your own space. Once you have collected the sample, you can send it back to the lab for testing and receive your results electronically.

Benefits of at-home testing kits:

  1. No need to leave your home
  2. Increased privacy and convenience
  3. Quick turnaround time for results
