The state Department of Health and state Emergency Management Agency will partner with CVS Health to offer COVID-19 testing services to skilled nursing facilities statewide, free of charge.
“This partnership strengthens and increases access to ensure universal testing is completed in nursing homes, as required in the order issued earlier this month,” state Secretary of Health Rachel Levine said.
Omnicare, a CVS Health company, will administer up to 50,000 tests for skilled nursing residents and staff members beginning next week.
