JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Several over-the-counter COVID-19 tests become available at stores nationwide this week, part of the ongoing effort to fight the pandemic by making testing more widely available, along with efforts to vaccinate as many adults as possible.
Abbott announced Monday it began shipping its BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Self Test to CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens and Walmart stores across the country. The test, which can be purchased over the counter without a prescription, will then roll out to other major food, drug and mass merchandisers in the weeks ahead.

CVS Pharmacy on Monday announced that three over-the-counter COVID test kits will be available for purchase this week.
The COVID tests include the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test, the Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test and the Pixel by Labcorp PCR Test Home Collection Kit. All three tests were given emergency use authorization, do not require a prescription and are can be used by both symptomatic and asymptomatic customers, the pharmacy said.
The at-home testing options are not covered by insurance and should not act a diagnosis for acute COVID infection. Nor should they be used to test the efficacy of COVID vaccine, CVS said.
