WOODSVILLE — Rite Aid is set to begin offering free COVID-19 testing at its Woodsville location on Thursday, according to a company news release.
The testing site, at 4976 Dartmouth College Highway, will operate through the store’s drive-thru window and use self-swab nasal tests overseen by Rite Aid pharmacists.
Testing will be available from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. All adults over the age of 18, even those not exhibiting symptoms associated with COVID-19, are eligible for testing.
