More than 1,200 independent pharmacies now have access to a saliva-based, at-home COVID-19 test that has been authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization. The testing kit, from Wheeler Labs, pairs at-home saliva collection with PCR testing and will be distributed nationally by Pharmacy Providers of Oklahoma. “This kit makes simple, reliable COVID-19 testing more accessible to people who don’t live in a metro area or have easy access to a testing site,” said Jesse McCool, CEO of Wheeler Labs. “Providing access in the local pharmacies people know and trust makes critical health information more accessible, which will help slow the spread of this pandemic.”
