Over 50 Maryland Health Providers Join Federal COVID-19 Testing, Treatment Initiative
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Health providers across Maryland have joined a federal initiative to expand COVID-19 testing and treatment access to residents.
At Maryland pharmacies and health partners participating in the Test to Treat initiative, people are able to get a rapid COVID-19 test and -- if they test positive -- can get the appropriate treatment or prescription filled all at one location
According to the Maryland Department of Health, more than 50 healthcare providers are participating in the initiative in the state.
"This effort complements the Maryland Department of Health's progress on expanding access to potentially life-saving treatments and medications for Marylanders who are at risk of severe illness from COVID-19," said MDH Secretary Dennis Schrader. "This HHS initiative to further expand testing, clinical evaluation, and treatment at one-stop locations throughout the state fits perfectly with our progress toward learning to live safely with COVID-19 in our communities."
