The president, speaking from the White House Rose Garden, promised that"stores in virtually every location" would be rolling out testing, including some of the"greatest retailers anywhere in the world" that"cover this country in large part," such as CVS, Target, Walgreens and Walmart. Collectively, these six companies have almost 32,000 locations nationwide, but only about 1,300 of those stores have COVID-19 testing sites, or an average of 4%, according to numbers obtained from the retailers. And the lion's share of those sites are from CVS alone, which has opened nearly 1,000 sites.
"We never made sweeping statements like some of our competitors did, where we're going to open up a thousand testing sites. ... We put the promise out initially to do 25 sites, and we fulfilled that promise," says Rite Aid spokesperson Chris Altman, noting that the company has exceeded its original goal.
