The retailer has partnered with testing company eTrueNorth to provide the at-home versions of the PCR test.
“Providing an option for a PCR test where the individual self-collects their specimen should dramatically increase Americans’ access to COVID-19 testing. We are very thankful to Meijer for being the first retailer to offer these self-collection tests to their customers,” said Coral May, BSN, CEO of eTrueNorth.
Customers seeking a test can register at www.ineedacovid19test.com. Individuals will be given a voucher to pick up a test after completing an online assessment and selecting a Meijer location. Individuals must return the specimen bag with their self-collection swab back to the same pharmacy where they picked up the kit. The pharmacy will ship the specimen to a laboratory for processing, with results expected within 48 to 72 hours after returning the specimen.
