Earlier this month, President Donald Trump pledged that big-box retailers across the country would develop a large network of coronavirus test sites in the near future. But despite executives of numerous stores agreeing to make it happen, so far only five facilities have opened in the United States.
Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens all agreed to make the vision of widespread testing a reality, according to the Washington Post. Those retailers have a combined 26,4000 stores across the country, but so far, Target hasn’t opened a single site. Rite Aid has one drive-through facility in Philadelphia. Walgreens and CVS have each opened one site, while Walmart opened two drive-through locations last weekend in the Chicago area.
While declaring a national emergency, the president pledged hundreds of thousands of Americans would get tested at major retailers around the country.
