With a point-of-care testing program at the core of your return strategy, we can help determine which other solutions would also work well for your campus.

Important information
COVID‑19 testing does not eliminate the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or Coronavirus Disease 2019. Further, available testing procedures may produce false negative or false positive results due to a variety of factors. Institutions should consider these factors in developing their return to campus policies and procedures. The COVID‑19 pandemic has created an unprecedented and still-evolving legal landscape for organizations. You may need to consider various federal, state, and local laws, regulations, or other mandates when developing your return to campus plans. Competent legal counsel should be consulted. This is not intended to be a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Return Ready program. Services described would be provided by CVS Pharmacy, Inc. or a subsidiary, including but not limited to MinuteClinic, LLC and its subsidiaries and managed entities. In addition, access to additional health and safety solutions such as contact tracing, symptom checker and thermal scanner may be through third parties. Not all services available in all locations.
