The test, which received emergency use authorization from the FDA, will be available through Walgreens Find Care, a digital health platform on Walgreens’ mobile app. The test reported 100 percent sensitivity and specificity in its emergency use authorization filing, Walgreens said in a news release.
Consumers can order the test online if they meet one or more clinical guidelines for COVID-19 testing after filling out a questionnaire. After getting the test, consumers register it online, deposit a saliva sample in the collection vial, and drop the sample off at their local FedEx site. Results typically take 24 to 48 hours, Walgreens said.
The tests cost $119 each.
