Individuals can now purchase a test to diagnose COVID-19 online, through QuestDirect, launched by Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:DGX).
The QuestDirect COVID-19 test can be purchased online with specimen collection available in two ways: at-home or at one of more than 500 Walmart Neighborhood Market drive-thru pharmacy locations across the U.S.
The new test uses the gold standard of COVID-19 diagnostic testing – highly sensitive molecular diagnostic technologies that have received emergency use authorization from the FDA to aid the detection of the RNA of SARS-COV-2.
Physicians are available post-test via telehealth to help consumers with interpretation of the result and referral into appropriate care.
The new service complements the QuestDirect COVID-19 Antibody Test, which was launched in April 2020.
