BATON ROUGE - CVS is opening two new drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites in Baton Rouge and a total of eight new sites statewide.

The capital city's new sites will be along Highland Road and on Bluebonnet Boulevard.

These new sites will utilize self-swab tests, which will be given to individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, in addition to age guidelines. 

Patients must register in advance at CVS.com beginning Friday, May 22 to schedule an appointment. 

Patients must also remember that they are required to remain in their vehicles throughout the process.

While in their vehicle they will be directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window where they will be provided with a test kit and given instructions, and a CVS Pharmacy team member will observe the self swab process to ensure it is done properly. 

Tests will be sent to an independent, third-party lab for processing and the results will be available in approximately three days
