52 more Walgreens to offer rapid COVID-19 tests in Maine

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced today the additional Walgreens pharmacy locations that will offer free drive-through rapid COVID-19 antigen testing to people in Maine experiencing symptoms of the virus.

Beginning Friday, Walgreens will open 52 testing sites across Maine to the public, using Abbott’s BinaxNOW rapid antigen point-of-care test. These sites join the 10 previously announced locations that opened last Friday. An additional three sites in southern Maine will come online with BinaxNOW next week, bringing the total to 65 locations.

Appointments at all locations can be made now by following the steps on Walgreens.com/COVID19Testing.

Through an agreement with DHHS, testing is available through Walgreens at no cost to people in Maine who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. As a result of increased demand for testing in recent days, appointment availability may vary by location.

“The expansion of free rapid antigen testing through Walgreens allows people experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 to quickly rule out this disease,” said DHHS Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew. “The BinaxNOW tests offer one more layer of protection, but continuing to wear a face covering, avoiding large gatherings, and keeping our distance has never been more important.”
