Walgreens’ NAAT test for travel to Hawai’i .
Also, which walgreens test for hawaii?
Some sources claimed the Rapid Point-of-Care (POC) Test ( ID NOW) and RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel are both nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) and thus both test types are approved by the state of Hawaii. Walgreens website notes that the turnaround results time may vary, so plan accordingly.
I spoke to officials in Hawaii and just had friends successful use the Walgreens test to successfully enter Kona . One caution: Walgreens has two “fast result” tests- make sure you get the ID now test and not the antigen test.
Re: Walgreens’ NAAT test for travel to Hawai’i The testing after arrival won’t be implemented until at least the end of this month. Really folks I know you think this is a big deal but it isn’t. It’s been done on the island of Hawaii for months now with very few people testing positive out of thousand of visitors.
This begs the inquiry “How do I schedule Walgreens rapid testing in Hawaii?”
One way to consider this is keep in mind that, it is within 72 hours (including time zone) of your last segment Hawaii-bound flight. Step 3: Once you know the necessary date and time, it is important to understand how scheduling Walgreens Rapid Testing works. You can only schedule online here and you can only schedule 3 days before your desired testing date.
Does Walgreens accept rapid diagnostic tests?
Either the Rapid Diagnostic Test (ID NOW) or the Diagnostic Lab Test (PCR) will be accepted . Testing Timeframe / Concerns: As noted above, the Walgreens website notes that the turnaround results time may vary, so travelers should plan accordingly.
The testing process is really simple and well streamlined . You must do a drive-through, you can’t walk into Walgreens to do the test. You’ll be instructed accordingly by the Walgreens agent to perform the test. Wait for your test result via email. If it’s positive, you should cancel the trip. If it’s negative, congratulation!
I am so glad to see this post. On the Walgreen’s website they offer two different NAAT tests, the PCR and the ID NOW . Do you know if both tests are acceptable to Hawaii?
Can I get a rapid diagnostic test (ID now) in Hawaii?
Instead, since Walgreen’s website also states that the Rapid Diagnostic Test (ID NOW): The Rapid Point-of-Care (POC) – NAAT (ID NOW) test is performed on-site with results available within 24 hours, if possible, we’d recommend that option be selected for travel to Hawaii at this time.
