Question

My husband just drove by the CVS testing station in Bolingbrook. I can’t seem to find the post about this after multiple searches. Do you still require a doctor note?  

Answer 1

No. Over 65 years old with or without symptoms.  

Comments

@swale at this time it’s only with symptoms

Answer 2

I haven’t seen anything for that specific location, but all drive-thru sites opened so far are for 65+, healthcare workers, & first responders. The only exception I’m aware of is Edward Hospital parking lot, but a doctor’s note is required and unlikely to get it unless you’re very ill.  

Answer 3

You still have to have a physician’s order and they will still screen you. Not everyone with an order gets the test.

@tremann That is not accurate for that location.

@swale I didn’t say a location.  

---

@tremann She asked about Bolingbrook.  

---

@swale well now you confused me. You said it’s for seniors with or without symptoms. Then you so kindly posted this which says they have to have symptoms.  

---

What is your position there?  

---

@tremann I’m sorry you’re confused. See the other comments or pm me if you need more information.  

---

@swale I’m all set.

@tremann why a shortage of tests. our govt is not protecting us

---

@sundae50769 IL seems to have less than other states too. It’s horrible. No PPE and lack of testing kits. That’s why there is criteria.  

Answer 4

The one I think in Harwood heights is doing 18 and over with symptoms

Answer 5

We’re their lines?

@benkley He said only 2 cars were there.

@indreetloire hmmm

---

@benkley I drive by daily, saw no more than 1-2 cars each day last week.  

---

@oliver that’s good, I do realize everyone needs to get out and about, but as of this time, it would be prudent to wear a mask anytime you were outside

---

@benkley I haven't been in buildings other than my home or office in weeks.  

Answer 6

There was no line, but sign said first responders twenty minutes ago

Answer 7

News last night updated it to include 65 and over without doctors approval. Do not need to be health care first responder etc, just 65 with an id

Answer 8

The walgreens one did not
