Question

We are coming from somewhere that requires a negative COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hrs of arrival. What are our options in Chicago?

Answer

We will keep this page updated as the wedding nears, but this shouldn't be a problem. The most important thing would be to book an appointment in advance. Select current options are: 1. Walgreens Pharmacy: As it is a drive-thru site, a car is required. Appointments can be booked here: https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/covid19/testing?ban=covidfy21_newtestingpg_heroban. 2. CVS Pharmacy: As it is a drive-thru site, a car is required. Appointments can be booked here: https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing. 3.
