Where you can get a COVID test in Pittsburgh, how long it takes for results – WPXI - PCR Tests With Fast Turnaround Times
They claimed results in 48 hours. Myself, my parents, and my husband all got tested at different CVS locations at the same time. My mom's results came back in under 24 hours. My husband's results took 58 hours. For that same cruise, we also all had to be antigen tested at the pier. We all took our tests within minutes of each other. While the rest of us all received our results in around 30 minutes, it took over two hours for my mom to get hers, so none of us could check-in and board until her results came back.
My point is, people probably have similar testing stories from clinics, pharmacies, and testing sites all over. There will always be lost samples and human error. Walgreens guarantees a 24 hour turn around. One of our local stores had an employee call in sick. Thus they did the scheduled vaccinations and testing, but did not have enough qualified people to process all the tests.
Whenever humans are involved, there is opportunity for slow-downs and problems. This is not unique to Walgreens. Also, while it's true that not every Walgreens offers COVID testing, I am not sure that is super relevant to my post or this thread generally. The answer to that question is "yes" and one can generally expect their results in a relatively quick timeframe.
Obviously, no one on these forums can guarantee that Walgreens or any other testing site in the world won't have staffing issues or human errors. I absolutely agree with everything being said. We planned carefully, based on our planned border arrival date and time. We also booked backup tests, just in case. We were also fully aware of the 24 hour turnaround time, and, again, planned accordingly. The title of the thread involved Walgreen's NAAT tests, so I simply shared my experience to help others who are planning.
I am still reading about people who are surprised by border expectations, delays, etc. Sorry if you felt I "hijacked" your thread. That wasn't my intention. I also am a Celebrity cruiser with several future Celebrity cruises planned, so hope my past testing experiences and others' will help. I don't think you hijacked the thread. I just want to make it clear that Walgreens is no less or more reliable than any other testing site in these crazy times. While you had a negative experience with one Walgreens location, I have had a negative experience with one CVS location, and I am sure many here have had negative experiences with one, the other, or some completely different testing site.

They have more than stores in all 50 states of the United States of America. Walgreens also offers a booster dose and an additional dose if anyone needs it.
All of these services are available at no cost. You just have to bring one photo ID while taking advantage of any service. The company has a presence in all 50 states of the United States of America. They usually have same-day appointments available.
But in some locations, it might take one day to get tested. To be on the safer side, kindly bring one photo ID along with you. Rite Aid is another big name with more than stores in 19 states of the United States of America. They are also helping the CDC to ensure the safety and health of the people of America. Add the official website of Rite Aid. It detects the presence of the virus if you have any at the time the test was taken. People who are traveling abroad or attending any social gathering must take the PCR test.
But there are many cases in which you should get tested. To conclude everything, I will say that even though we are facing tough times with so many restrictions and bans. But I believe we can easily survive this with the right knowledge and precaution.
Regular PCR tests ensure the safety of your family. The test is also available at no cost, so it should not be a problem for you, and even if you get a positive test result, do not panic. Posted September 14, edited. Edited September 14, by PKelley Posted September 15, edited.
