AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Health and Human Services last week announced  expanded options for COVID-19 testing in Maine, including improved availability of testing for child care facilities and the addition of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing at Walgreens pharmacies throughout Maine.

“While the way out of the pandemic is vaccination, getting tested for COVID-19 remains critical to limiting the spread of the deadly virus,” said DHHS Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew. “These expanded testing options, which are being federally funded thanks to the Biden Administration, will help keep children and child care staff safe as well as give Maine people additional choices for testing at pharmacies throughout the state.”
