The qualifying questions cover any symptoms you may have had in the last 24 hours, your medical history, job history, and a few other things. Also, the test won't cost you a thing. It is free.
The tests used by CVS Health are PCR tests, which only test for active infections. These are not antibody tests, which check to see if a patient has been infected in the past. The tests are also administered in your car. You will be given a swab which you will then insert into your nostril to get the sample.
