 Rite Aid Corp. RAD, +2.28% said Tuesday it will start charging $115 per COVID-19 test from Dec. 1, following the end of federal funding for diagnostic testing by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The drug store chain said it will offer testing for individuals aged 13 and older regardless of whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic. Previously, it only offered testing to people aged 17 and up. The company is further planning to expand testing by adding another 1,000 drive-through locations. Rite Aid currently has 301 testing sites across 15 states.
