[PACapitalChapter] Covid-19 Testing and accommodations due to Blindness.

[Jason Polansky]

Hi Tim,
Please keep us updated on how this goes. The Accessible Pharmacy is
actually about to come out with an in-home Covid saliva test, of which our
care coordinators will be trained to instruct patients on how to use it
properly.
Accessibility for getting tested is certainly an issue that we need to work
on solving.
